Simplify a sum means differently for different kinds of sums like algebraic expressions, fractions, boolean algrebra etc.

For e.g simplifying 7x+3y-5x+y will mean that you factor in x and y seperately and simplify i.e 7x-5x+3y+y = 2x+4y

Simplifying 5/10+3/6+4/8 will mean you remove first the common factors in the fractions and simplify i.e 1/2+1/2+1/2
