I can't solve an equation unless you have an equation; no one can. An equation is a mathematical expression that has expressions on either side of an equals sign. You don't have an equals sign, so you don't have an equation. Your expression can't be simplified either, because you have presented an ambiguous rendering of your expression, i.e. it is impossible to tell from what you wrote whether you meant:
