DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at highlight_red%28+%28x%2B5%29%2F%28highlight_red%28+2+%29%29+%29=-3.
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor highlight_red%28+1%2F2+%29
It becomes %28x%2B5%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+2+%29=-3.
Look at %28x%2B5%29%2F2=highlight_red%28+-3+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+3+%29
It becomes %28x%2B5%29%2F2%2Bhighlight_green%28+3+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+%28x%2B5%29%2F2+%29%2B3=0.
Expanded term 1%2F2 by using associative property on %28x%2B5%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+1%2F2%2Ax+%29%2Bhighlight_green%28+1%2F2%2A5+%29%2B3=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+1+%29%2F2%2Ax%2B1%2F2%2A5%2B3=0.
Remove extraneous '1' from product highlight_red%28+1+%29
It becomes x%2F2%2B1%2F2%2A5%2B3=0.
Look at x%2F2%2Bhighlight_red%28+1+%29%2F2%2Ahighlight_red%28+5+%29%2B3=0.
Multiplied numerator integers
It becomes x%2F2%2Bhighlight_green%28+5+%29%2F2%2B3=0.
Look at x%2F2%2Bhighlight_red%28+5%2F2+%29%2Bhighlight_red%28+3+%29=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes x%2F2%2Bhighlight_green%28+11%2F2+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+x%2F2%2B11%2F2+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+x%2F2%2B11%2F2=0+%29 equivalent to 0.5*x+5.5 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
