DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at 7%2Ax=highlight_red%28+6%2Ax-8+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-6%2Ax+%29,highlight_green%28+8+%29
It becomes 7%2Ax-highlight_green%28+6%2Ax+%29%2Bhighlight_green%28+8+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+7%2Ax+%29-highlight_red%28+6%2Ax+%29%2B8=0.
Eliminated similar terms highlight_red%28+7%2Ax+%29,highlight_red%28+-6%2Ax+%29 replacing them with highlight_green%28+%287-6%29%2Ax+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+%287-6%29%2Ax+%29%2B8=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+%287-6%29+%29%2Ax%2B8=0.
Remove extraneous '1' from product highlight_red%28+%287-6%29+%29
It becomes x%2B8=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+x%2B8+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+x%2B8=0+%29 equivalent to x+8 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: x=-8.
