DETAILED EXPLANATION


Look at 14=highlight_red%28+3+%29%2B2%2Ax.
Moved 3 to the right of expression
It becomes 14=2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+3+%29.

Look at 14=highlight_red%28+2%2Ax%2B3+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-2%2Ax+%29,highlight_green%28+-3+%29
It becomes 14-highlight_green%28+2%2Ax+%29-highlight_green%28+3+%29=0.

Look at highlight_red%28+14+%29-2%2Ax-highlight_red%28+3+%29=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes highlight_green%28+11+%29-2%2Ax=0.

Look at highlight_red%28+11+%29-2%2Ax=0.
Moved 11 to the right of expression
It becomes -2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+11+%29=0.

Look at highlight_red%28+-2%2Ax%2B11+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+-2%2Ax%2B11=0+%29 equivalent to -2*x+11 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: x=5.5.
