A lot of times simplifying equations can be really easy, depending on how many numbers you have however the main thing that you want to do is combine like terms meaning combine the numbers with the same variable then move on to the rest of the problem. However if you have a bigger problem then you want to use the distributive property, and example of that would be:
4(8 + 2) ...but in distributive property would also be the same as (4 * 8) + (4 * 2)

You simplify the brackets first and then you will have linear equations without brackets!
Well, well, well, look who's trying to play with equations. If we simplify this little gem, we get e = 4. So, there you have it, the solution to your mathematical mystery. Now go forth and conquer more equations, my dear.
Yes, that is correct. It is one of the basic properties of surds, and is used in many identities and some equations, to simplify and calulate and prove.
No it will not simplify.
You cannot change two existing, completed equations so that they are equal to each other. However, when working with two equations, you may set them equal to each other to solve a system of equations. An example is the system of 2x+5y=103x-5p=10 You may now combine the two, as they both are equal to ten. This results in the eqation of 2x+5y=3x-5p You may simplify this to 5y=x-5p This brings you one step closer to solving, and one may complete the system with some additional information.
