Or "factor and simplify".
Factorising is the opposite process to expanding, so no, that isn't simplifying.
My point (made poorly) was there is "expand and simplify" and also "factor and simplify". Two different things.
And my point is there's no such thing as "factor and simplify", since they are opposite operations to each other.
Man you're dense.

So you're just ignoring Maths textbooks? Got it.
BTW in case you didn't know about this infamous Google result...

Yep, it's an actual search result. Look underneath the AI part.
