simplify means to get an expression to its simplest form (a.k.a. combine like terms, add together constants) i.e. x + x + 5 + 3 simplified is 2x + 8
You can combine like terms - combine the terms that have a "t" in them; separately, combine the terms that don't.
When you have an expression you have to simplify by eliminating all grouping symbols and combining like terms.
Learn the properties, and apply them! What properties you use depends on the specific situations; some examples include:* Combine like terms (terms with the same variables), e.g.: 4x + 5x = 9x * Factor expressions * Multiply factors, so you can combine them with other expressions. In a way, this is the opposite of the previous point.
To simplify this expression, you combine your like terms (9y and 1y). 9y - 1y = 8y 8y - 25 is your answer. It can't be simplified any further than that.
To simplify an equation is to combine like terms, but you do not solve it for example: simplify 3X+4-X-6 2X-2
