well that's complicated it would properly take a long time to read this which you ruined 10 second so sorry
When you simplify, you are just taking the equation down to it's simplest form, not solving it. Evaluation involves actually solving the problem.
Simplifying an expression is getting rid of any brackets or parentheses, performing as many operations as you can - including combining like terms. To evaluate an expression you would substitute the numerical values of all the variables, carry out all the operations (addition, multiplication etc) in the expression to reach the answer - the numerical value of the expression.
What is the difference between evaluating an expression?
To simplify a variable expression by evaluating its numerical part, first identify and calculate any numerical constants or coefficients present in the expression. Combine these numerical values through addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division as appropriate. After simplifying the numerical part, rewrite the expression by maintaining the variable components, resulting in a more concise and easier-to-understand form. For example, in the expression 3x + 5x, the numerical part (3 + 5) simplifies to 8, resulting in 8x.

What is the difference between evaluating an expression?
It would be either evaluating or simplifying.
Substituting a numerical value for each variable in an expression and then simplifying the resulting expression is known as evaluating the expression. This process involves following the order of operations, which includes performing operations inside parentheses first, then exponents, multiplication and division from left to right, and finally addition and subtraction from left to right. By replacing variables with specific numbers, we can determine the exact value of the expression based on those inputs.
First tell me the expression, then I'll tell you what the first step is in simplifying it.
Evaluating the expression.
I suggest that the next step should be identifying "this" expression.
That is sometimes known as EVALUATING the expression.
Evaluating the expression
It is "evaluating".
That is called 'solving'.
