DETAILED EXPLANATION

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
This is an equation! Solutions: p=40.
