So you really do understand. In an early algebra class I was given a list of expressions with the instruction to "simplify". I looked at the list and couldn't understand why the teacher didn't think that some of the expressions weren't already in simplest form. And when simplifying, which form did she think was the simplest? Maybe she should have told us to put them in the prettiest form.
