DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at %28x%2B2%29%2A3=highlight_red%28+10+%29%2Bx.
Moved 10 to the right of expression
It becomes %28x%2B2%29%2A3=x%2Bhighlight_green%28+10+%29.
Look at %28x%2B2%29%2A3=highlight_red%28+x%2B10+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-x+%29,highlight_green%28+-10+%29
It becomes %28x%2B2%29%2A3-highlight_green%28+x+%29-highlight_green%28+10+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+%28x%2B2%29%2A3+%29-x-10=0.
Expanded term 3 by using associative property on %28x%2B2%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+3%2Ax+%29%2Bhighlight_green%28+3%2A2+%29-x-10=0.
Look at 3%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+3+%29%2Ahighlight_red%28+2+%29-x-10=0.
Multiplied numerator integers
It becomes 3%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+6+%29-x-10=0.
Look at 3%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+6+%29-x-highlight_red%28+10+%29=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes 3%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+-4+%29-x=0.
Look at 3%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+-4+%29-x=0.
Moved -4 to the right of expression
It becomes 3%2Ax-x%2Bhighlight_green%28+-4+%29=0.
Look at 3%2Ax-x%2Bhighlight_red%28+-4+%29=0.
Removed extra sign in front of -4
It becomes 3%2Ax-x-highlight_green%28+4+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+3%2Ax+%29-highlight_red%28+x+%29-4=0.
Eliminated similar terms highlight_red%28+3%2Ax+%29,highlight_red%28+-x+%29 replacing them with highlight_green%28+%283-1%29%2Ax+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+%283-1%29%2Ax+%29-4=0.
Look at %28highlight_red%28+3+%29-highlight_red%28+1+%29%29%2Ax-4=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes %28highlight_green%28+2+%29%29%2Ax-4=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+%28highlight_red%28+2+%29%29%2Ax+%29-4=0.
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor highlight_red%28+2+%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+2+%29%2Ax-4=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+2%2Ax-4+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+2%2Ax-4=0+%29 equivalent to 2*x-4 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
