DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at 2%2A%28x%2B4%29=highlight_red%28+16+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-16+%29
It becomes 2%2A%28x%2B4%29-highlight_green%28+16+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+2%2A%28x%2B4%29+%29-16=0.
Expanded term 2 by using associative property on %28x%2B4%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+2%2Ax+%29%2Bhighlight_green%28+2%2A4+%29-16=0.
Look at 2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+2+%29%2Ahighlight_red%28+4+%29-16=0.
Multiplied numerator integers
It becomes 2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+8+%29-16=0.
Look at 2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+8+%29-highlight_red%28+16+%29=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes 2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+-8+%29=0.
Look at 2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+-8+%29=0.
Removed extra sign in front of -8
It becomes 2%2Ax-highlight_green%28+8+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+2%2Ax-8+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+2%2Ax-8=0+%29 equivalent to 2*x-8 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
