DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+50+%29-p=.5p-10\".
Moved \"50\" to the right of expression
It becomes \"-p%2Bhighlight_green%28+50+%29=.5p-10\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-p%2B50=highlight_red%28+.5%2Ap-10+%29\".
Moved these terms to the left \"highlight_green%28+-.5%2Ap+%29\",\"highlight_green%28+10+%29\"
It becomes \"-p%2B50-highlight_green%28+.5%2Ap+%29%2Bhighlight_green%28+10+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-p%2Bhighlight_red%28+50+%29-.5%2Ap%2Bhighlight_red%28+10+%29=0\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"-p%2Bhighlight_green%28+60+%29-.5%2Ap=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-p%2Bhighlight_red%28+60+%29-.5%2Ap=0\".
Moved \"60\" to the right of expression
It becomes \"-p-.5%2Ap%2Bhighlight_green%28+60+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-highlight_red%28+p+%29-highlight_red%28+.5%2Ap+%29%2B60=0\".
Eliminated similar terms \"highlight_red%28+-p+%29\",\"highlight_red%28+-.5%2Ap+%29\" replacing them with \"highlight_green%28+%28-1-.5%29%2Ap+%29\"
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+%28-1-.5%29%2Ap+%29%2B60=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"%28-highlight_red%28+1+%29-highlight_red%28+.5+%29%29%2Ap%2B60=0\".
Replace constants in expression: \"highlight_red%28+-1+%29\",\"highlight_red%28+-.5+%29\" with \"highlight_green%28+-1.5+%29\"
It becomes \"%28highlight_green%28+-1.5+%29%29%2Ap%2B60=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"%28highlight_red%28+-1.5+%29%29%2Ap%2B60=0\".
Removed extra sign in front of \"-1.5\"
It becomes \"%28-highlight_green%28+1.5+%29%29%2Ap%2B60=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+%28-highlight_red%28+1.5+%29%29%2Ap+%29%2B60=0\".
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor \"highlight_red%28+1.5+%29\"
It becomes \"-highlight_green%28+1.5+%29%2Ap%2B60=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"highlight_red%28+-1.5%2Ap%2B60+%29=0\".
Solved linear equation \"highlight_red%28+-1.5%2Ap%2B60=0+%29\" equivalent to -1.5*p+60 =0
It becomes \"highlight_green%28+0+%29=0\".
Result: \"0=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is an equation! Solutions: p=40.
