DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at %283%2Ahighlight_red%28+x+%29-2%29%2Fy.
Replaced x with -2
It becomes %283%2Ahighlight_green%28+-2+%29-2%29%2Fy.
Look at %28highlight_red%28+3%2A-2+%29-highlight_red%28+2+%29%29%2Fy.
Replace constants in expression: highlight_red%28+3%2A-2+%29,highlight_red%28+-2+%29 with highlight_green%28+-8+%29
It becomes %28highlight_green%28+-8+%29%29%2Fy.
Look at %28-8%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+y+%29.
Replaced y with 8
It becomes %28-8%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+8+%29.
Look at %28highlight_red%28+-8+%29%29%2F8.
Removed extra sign in front of -8
It becomes %28-highlight_green%28+8+%29%29%2F8.
Look at highlight_red%28+%28-8%29%2F8+%29.
Removed extra sign in front of -1
It becomes -highlight_green%28+1+%29.
Result: -1
