I'd use it to solve it, as per my previous comment on the difference between solving and simplifying.
By your words: you solve an equation. What I gave you to simplify was an algebraic fraction. As a teacher you should have realized that.
Nope. You gave me something to solve, as I already said. If I have x²-x and want to solve it, I use x(x-1) to find the roots - that isn't simplifying, that's solving.
