DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at x%2B2=highlight_red%28+3%2Ax-1+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-3%2Ax+%29,highlight_green%28+1+%29
It becomes x%2B2-highlight_green%28+3%2Ax+%29%2Bhighlight_green%28+1+%29=0.
Look at x%2Bhighlight_red%28+2+%29-3%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+1+%29=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes x%2Bhighlight_green%28+3+%29-3%2Ax=0.
Look at x%2Bhighlight_red%28+3+%29-3%2Ax=0.
Moved 3 to the right of expression
It becomes x-3%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+3+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+x+%29-highlight_red%28+3%2Ax+%29%2B3=0.
Eliminated similar terms highlight_red%28+x+%29,highlight_red%28+-3%2Ax+%29 replacing them with highlight_green%28+%281-3%29%2Ax+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+%281-3%29%2Ax+%29%2B3=0.
Look at %28highlight_red%28+1+%29-highlight_red%28+3+%29%29%2Ax%2B3=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes %28highlight_green%28+-2+%29%29%2Ax%2B3=0.
Look at %28highlight_red%28+-2+%29%29%2Ax%2B3=0.
Removed extra sign in front of -2
It becomes %28-highlight_green%28+2+%29%29%2Ax%2B3=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+%28-highlight_red%28+2+%29%29%2Ax+%29%2B3=0.
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor highlight_red%28+2+%29
It becomes -highlight_green%28+2+%29%2Ax%2B3=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+-2%2Ax%2B3+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+-2%2Ax%2B3=0+%29 equivalent to -2*x+3 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: x=1.5.
