DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-16=highlight_red%28+5.5+%29%2Bx%2Bhighlight_red%28+3.5+%29\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"-16=highlight_green%28+90%2F10+%29%2Bx\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-16=highlight_red%28+90%2F10+%29%2Bx\".
Moved \"90%2F10\" to the right of expression
It becomes \"-16=x%2Bhighlight_green%28+90%2F10+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-16=x%2Bhighlight_red%28+90+%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+10+%29\".
Factors 90 and 10 have greatest common factor (GCF) of 10. Reducing fraction.
It becomes \"-16=x%2Bhighlight_green%28+9+%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+1+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-16=x%2B9%2Fhighlight_red%28+1+%29\".
Remove extraneous '1' from product \"highlight_red%28+1%2F1+%29\"
It becomes \"-16=x%2B9\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-16=highlight_red%28+x%2B9+%29\".
Moved these terms to the left \"highlight_green%28+-x+%29\",\"highlight_green%28+-9+%29\"
It becomes \"-16-highlight_green%28+x+%29-highlight_green%28+9+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-highlight_red%28+16+%29-x-highlight_red%28+9+%29=0\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+-25+%29-x=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+-25+%29-x=0\".
Moved \"-25\" to the right of expression
It becomes \"-x%2Bhighlight_green%28+-25+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-x%2Bhighlight_red%28+-25+%29=0\".
Removed extra sign in front of \"-25\"
It becomes \"-x-highlight_green%28+25+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+-x-25+%29=0\".
Solved linear equation \"highlight_red%28+-x-25=0+%29\" equivalent to -x-25 =0
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+0+%29=0\".
Result: \"0=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is an equation! Solutions: x=-25.
