To simplify an equation is to combine like terms, but you do not solve it
for example: simplify 3X+4-X-6
2X-2

No, you can only simplify an expression. To solve for a variable, it must be in an equation.
That's not an equation. It need a = sign before you can solve it. However you can simplify it by combining like factors

To solve would be to rewrite the equation in terms of the variable in the equation. For example, solve: 3x-2=7. You would solve for the variable x; e.g. 3x=9 and x=3. To evaluate, you would be given an equation with a variable or variables. You would need to be given a value for the variable(s) to substitute into the equation. For example evaluate the equation for x=3; equation is x2+1. Substitute 3 in for x; or 32+1=10. To simplify, reduce the equation to its simplest form. This will involve operations such as: factoring, adding, subtracting, dividing, canceling terms, and so forth. For example simplify the equation: 3x3/9x2. The 3/9 is simplified to 1/3 and x3/x2 is simplified to x. So the original equation simplified is: 1/3 times x or (1/3)x or x/3.Which is the right answer for most of you who does not know.
I am not entirely sure what the equation is supposed to be. However, to translate something 4 units up (4 units in the y-direction), simply replace every "y" in your equation by "y - 4". Simplify the result if you want.
