 * 1) 1- What does it mean to solve? To Evaluate? To Simplify? Use complete sentences. Be thorough and use examples.
 * 2) 2- An equation is true if each side of the equation simplifies to the same value or expression. Is the equation (a + b)² = a² + b² true? Explain.

1.) To solve is to find out the answer to an equation. To simplify is to combine all the like terms in an expression. And to evaluate is to substitute the variable in an expression. 2.)(a+b)² is not the same as a²+b² is not the same because (a+b)² is a and b both added together and then ² and that is different from a² + b².
