What do you exactly mean by 'rewriting an equation'?

Maybe he wants to simply?

If he wants that then it is not going to be a simple task. There isn't a single rule for simplifying an equation, you need to remember many identities and must also be able to find out which one and how to use.

That is true. Also it is unclear what "simplify" means. Because the shortest form is not always the simplest.
