Expressions cannot <u>be solved.
</u>Although they are similar to equations, you can solve an equation, but you cannot solve an expression. You can evaluate it, simplify it, and it can have many variables, however, an expression just exists, it is not a problem that has to be solved.<u>

In order to reduce ANY fraction to lowest terms, find any common factors
of the numerator and denominator, and divide them both by it. If they still
have a common factor, then divide them by it again. Eventually, they won't
have any common factor except ' 1 ', and then you'll know that the fraction is
in lowest terms.
Do 15 and 40 have any common factors ?
Let's see . . .
The factors of 15 are 1, 3, <em>5</em>, and 15 .
The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4,<em> 5</em>, 8, 10, 20, and 40 .
Ah hah ! Do you see that ' <em>5</em> ' on both lists ? That's a common factor.
So 15/40 is NOT in lowest terms.
Divide the numerator and denominator both by 5 :
15 / 40 =<em> 3 / 8</em>
3 and 8 don't have any common factor except ' 1 '.
So 3/8 is the same number as 15/40, but in lowest terms.
7(3a + 12) = 168 ← ( divide both sides by 7 )
3a + 12 = 24 ← ( subtract 12 from both sides )
3a = 12 ← ( divide both sides by 3 )
a = 4
OR
distribute the parenthesis by 7
21a + 84 = 168 ← ( subtract 84 from both sides )
21a = 84 ← ( divide both sides by 21 )
a = 4
The answer is 8. 8 squared is 64 plus 8 is 72
