DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at highlight_red%28+%28-highlight_red%28+7+%29%29%2Ax+%29=35.
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor highlight_red%28+7+%29
It becomes -highlight_green%28+7+%29%2Ax=35.
Look at -7%2Ax=highlight_red%28+35+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-35+%29
It becomes -7%2Ax-highlight_green%28+35+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+-7%2Ax-35+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+-7%2Ax-35=0+%29 equivalent to -7*x-35 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: x=-5.
