Hi, I have a situation where I have to simplify an expression that contains x and h, but x is given implicitly by h, so I can't explicitly eliminate it. So here's a simpler example that I'm trying and it does nothing: Assuming[x^2 + x == h, (x^2 + x)^2+h] // FullSimplify Is there a way to make this work? Thanks!
