DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at 7%2Aw-highlight_red%28+2+%29%2Bw=60.
Moved -2 to the right of expression
It becomes 7%2Aw%2Bw-highlight_green%28+2+%29=60.
Look at highlight_red%28+7%2Aw+%29%2Bhighlight_red%28+w+%29-2=60.
Eliminated similar terms highlight_red%28+7%2Aw+%29,highlight_red%28+w+%29 replacing them with highlight_green%28+%287%2B1%29%2Aw+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+%287%2B1%29%2Aw+%29-2=60.
Look at %28highlight_red%28+7+%29%2Bhighlight_red%28+1+%29%29%2Aw-2=60.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes %28highlight_green%28+8+%29%29%2Aw-2=60.
Look at highlight_red%28+%28highlight_red%28+8+%29%29%2Aw+%29-2=60.
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor highlight_red%28+8+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+8+%29%2Aw-2=60.
Look at 8%2Aw-2=highlight_red%28+60+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-60+%29
It becomes 8%2Aw-2-highlight_green%28+60+%29=0.
Look at 8%2Aw-highlight_red%28+2+%29-highlight_red%28+60+%29=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes 8%2Aw%2Bhighlight_green%28+-62+%29=0.
Look at 8%2Aw%2Bhighlight_red%28+-62+%29=0.
Removed extra sign in front of -62
It becomes 8%2Aw-highlight_green%28+62+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+8%2Aw-62+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+8%2Aw-62=0+%29 equivalent to 8*w-62 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: w=7.75.
