DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at 5%2Ax%2B9=highlight_red%28+x-23+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-x+%29,highlight_green%28+23+%29
It becomes 5%2Ax%2B9-highlight_green%28+x+%29%2Bhighlight_green%28+23+%29=0.
Look at 5%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+9+%29-x%2Bhighlight_red%28+23+%29=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes 5%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+32+%29-x=0.
Look at 5%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+32+%29-x=0.
Moved 32 to the right of expression
It becomes 5%2Ax-x%2Bhighlight_green%28+32+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+5%2Ax+%29-highlight_red%28+x+%29%2B32=0.
Eliminated similar terms highlight_red%28+5%2Ax+%29,highlight_red%28+-x+%29 replacing them with highlight_green%28+%285-1%29%2Ax+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+%285-1%29%2Ax+%29%2B32=0.
Look at %28highlight_red%28+5+%29-highlight_red%28+1+%29%29%2Ax%2B32=0.
