There is a program for the TI-89 called Symbolic Math Guide (you have to
download it from the computer software update tool) that does this. It works
by you selecting part of an expression and it applies a transformation on it.
At each step, it does minimal simplification, requiring the user t

It is enough if computer will select what to add. like
>>eq
2+3+4+5*6
>>eq.add()
9+5*6
>>eq
2*x+3*x+5*6
>>eq.add()
5*x+5*6
All I need is control over each operation (transformation).
Then I should be able to code function which will show full solution
for given math problem with explanation for
Do you want the computer to make the decision about which Add to do
next? If they choose the wrong op, do you just want to output the same
expression? e.g.
>> eq
2*3+4+5

6+4+5
>> eq.add()
10+5
>> eq.add()
15
