It means finding a simpler expression. For example, 3x + 4x can also be written as 7x (I simply added the 3 and the 4, which is valid because of the common factor x). Or, if you have a fraction like 12/36, you can simplify it as 1/3. Or a fraction with variables, like (3x2 + 4x) / x can be simplified as 3x + 4. Review your algebra book for additional examples.
