What is the difference between simplifying an algebretic expression and evaluating an expression when we aren't supposed to solve the expression.
------
We can "solve" equations. That solving process may involve simplifying.
-----
We can only "simplify" algebraic expressions. We cannot "solve" them.
------------------------------
Problem is
4-5(2-1)+(3-4)^2
----
This is an algebraic expression. It is not an equation.
--------------
= 4-5(1)+(-1)^2
------
= 4-5+1
----
= 0
