need help on nomenclature, Simplify symbolic variables

Looking for idea to simplify, A06 as well as J06.. any thougths?

If simplify is not simplifying to the extent that you want it to, use the Steps name-value pair to tell it to keep simplifying until it cannot simplify further or encounters the iteration limit. (I usually use 'Steps',500 since that most often works.)
