DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at 2%2Ax=highlight_red%28+x%2B3+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-x+%29,highlight_green%28+-3+%29
It becomes 2%2Ax-highlight_green%28+x+%29-highlight_green%28+3+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+2%2Ax+%29-highlight_red%28+x+%29-3=0.
Eliminated similar terms highlight_red%28+2%2Ax+%29,highlight_red%28+-x+%29 replacing them with highlight_green%28+%282-1%29%2Ax+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+%282-1%29%2Ax+%29-3=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+%282-1%29+%29%2Ax-3=0.
Remove extraneous '1' from product highlight_red%28+%282-1%29+%29
It becomes x-3=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+x-3+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+x-3=0+%29 equivalent to x-3 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: x=3.
