DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at 8%2Ax-4=highlight_red%28+19+%29%2B5%2Ax.
Moved 19 to the right of expression
It becomes 8%2Ax-4=5%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+19+%29.
Look at 8%2Ax-4=highlight_red%28+5%2Ax%2B19+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-5%2Ax+%29,highlight_green%28+-19+%29
It becomes 8%2Ax-4-highlight_green%28+5%2Ax+%29-highlight_green%28+19+%29=0.
Look at 8%2Ax-highlight_red%28+4+%29-5%2Ax-highlight_red%28+19+%29=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes 8%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+-23+%29-5%2Ax=0.
Look at 8%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+-23+%29-5%2Ax=0.
Moved -23 to the right of expression
