DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at highlight_red%28+2+%29%2B0.90%2Am%2Bhighlight_red%28+3+%29=23.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes highlight_green%28+5+%29%2B0.90%2Am=23.
Look at highlight_red%28+5+%29%2B0.90%2Am=23.
Moved 5 to the right of expression
It becomes 0.90%2Am%2Bhighlight_green%28+5+%29=23.
Look at 0.90%2Am%2B5=highlight_red%28+23+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-23+%29
It becomes 0.90%2Am%2B5-highlight_green%28+23+%29=0.
Look at 0.90%2Am%2Bhighlight_red%28+5+%29-highlight_red%28+23+%29=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes 0.90%2Am%2Bhighlight_green%28+-18+%29=0.
Look at 0.90%2Am%2Bhighlight_red%28+-18+%29=0.
Removed extra sign in front of -18
It becomes 0.90%2Am-highlight_green%28+18+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+0.90%2Am-18+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+0.90%2Am-18=0+%29 equivalent to 0.9*m-18 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: m=20.
