Simplify

Cancel, combine and rewrite — make the expression as small as possible.

Simplify means: rewrite the expression so it's as small and tidy as possible — without changing its value.

Moves

  • Combine like terms.
  • Cancel common factors in fractions.
  • Apply exponent laws.
  • Expand brackets, then re-collect.
