First tell me the expression, then I'll tell you what the first step is in simplifying it.

I suggest that the next step should be identifying "this" expression.
factor
The first step in simplifying the expression ( 2x(x-3) + x^2(8-2x) ) is to distribute the terms in each part of the expression. This means multiplying ( 2x ) by both terms in ( (x-3) ) and ( x^2 ) by both terms in ( (8-2x) ). After distribution, you can combine like terms to further simplify the expression.
The first step in solving a multistep equation with an expression in parentheses is to apply the distributive property, if necessary, to eliminate the parentheses. This involves multiplying the term outside the parentheses by each term inside. After simplifying, you can then combine like terms and isolate the variable to solve the equation.
To reduce a fraction to its lowest terms divide the numerator and the denominator by their highest common factor
the 1st step is either to take out something in common like 2x+2 is the same as 2(x+1) or to combine like terms, like you know that 2x+x+3x can be simplified to 6x
If 14e + 10f = 12f, the first step towards simplifying the expression is subtracting 10f from each side. You therefore have 14e = 2f, which you can divide by 2 to isolate f. Solution: 7e = f
