: I just have a couple of questions. 1. What is the basic principle that can be used to simplify a polynomial? 2.What is the relevance of the order of operations in simplifying a polynomial? I have searched everywhere and am unable to find the answer.Do you just remove the common factors and follow the order of operations?Thanks in advance. judy
