Redundancy in the needless repetition of words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or ideas. By repeating words with the same or similar meaning we gain nothing. For example, in the given sentence, there is no need to say that Jack has the capability AND proficiency. It's enough to say one or the other, that he is capable of conversing in OR that he is proficient in seven different languages. We could even go as far as discarding the word <em>different</em>, as it's understood that Jack speaks seven different languages since there are no seven same languages, but it isn't as necessary as it is with other words.

That expression can be simplified by combining like terms.
Like terms are terms that have the same variable(s) and the same exponent(s).
The like terms are 7x and 9x.
You can combine like terms by adding the coefficients (the number in front of the exponent) together and then tacking on the variable at the end.
7x + 9x = 16x
Add 16x back to the term that can't be combined (-8y), and the simplified expression is 16x - 8y
