DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at 2%2A%28x%2B3.1%29=highlight_red%28+9.8+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-9.8+%29
It becomes 2%2A%28x%2B3.1%29-highlight_green%28+9.8+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+2%2A%28x%2B3.1%29+%29-9.8=0.
Expanded term 2 by using associative property on %28x%2B3.1%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+2%2Ax+%29%2Bhighlight_green%28+2%2A3.1+%29-9.8=0.
Look at 2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+2%2A3.1+%29-highlight_red%28+9.8+%29=0.
Replace constants in expression: highlight_red%28+2%2A3.1+%29,highlight_red%28+-9.8+%29 with highlight_green%28+-3.6+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+-3.6+%29%2B2%2Ax=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+-3.6+%29%2B2%2Ax=0.
Moved -3.6 to the right of expression
It becomes 2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+-3.6+%29=0.
Look at 2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+-3.6+%29=0.
Removed extra sign in front of -3.6
It becomes 2%2Ax-highlight_green%28+3.6+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+2%2Ax-3.6+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+2%2Ax-3.6=0+%29 equivalent to 2*x-3.6 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: x=1.8.
