The simplification rule in logic states that where a conjunction of two varaibles is true then both variables are true individually. In plainer English this means that where a statment using "and" is true the separate parts of the stamtement are true on their own.
For example if the following is true:
<blockquote>
John has an apple and an orange
</blockquote>
then the two following statments are also true:
<blockquote>
John has an apple
</blockquote>
and
<blockquote>
John has an orange
</blockquote>
For example if the following is true:
<blockquote>
John has an apple and an orange
</blockquote>
then the two following statments are also true:
<blockquote>
John has an apple
</blockquote>
and
<blockquote>
John has an orange
