DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at highlight_red%28+21+%29-x%2F3=5.
Moved 21 to the right of expression
It becomes -x%2F3%2Bhighlight_green%28+21+%29=5.
Look at -x%2F3%2B21=highlight_red%28+5+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-5+%29
It becomes -x%2F3%2B21-highlight_green%28+5+%29=0.
Look at -x%2F3%2Bhighlight_red%28+21+%29-highlight_red%28+5+%29=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes -x%2F3%2Bhighlight_green%28+16+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+-x%2F3%2B16+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+-x%2F3%2B16=0+%29 equivalent to -0.333333333333333*x+16 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: x=48.
