[LON-CAPA-users] Simple math advice

[Lucas, Mark]

I've got a colleague who wants to write a formularesponse problem such as the
following:

Simplify -18(v+44)

The problem is that the student should not be able to just type the question in and
have it come right. He wants it reduced.

Is there a simple way to require this using maxima?
