What do you mean "solve"?

There is no equation; there is nothing to solve.

-----------------------------------

"simplify" is not specific; the expression could possibly be simplified in different ways. But for this example it seems clear what direction we are supposed to go.

4cos%28x%29%5E2%2B8cos%28x%29sin%28x%29%2B4sin%28x%29%5E2
4%2A%28cos%28x%29%5E2%2Bsin%28x%29%5E2%29 + 4%2A%282sin%28x%29cos%28x%29%29

What is each of those expressions equal to...?
