Question

is this sentence correct and if it's why do we use ''zu'' here?
Lösen und zu vereinfachen, wenn es möglich ist.

This is the translation of the sentence; solve and simplify if it's possible.

Answer

Lösen und vereinfachen Sie, wenn möglich.

Answer

It also sounds to me more correct, with "zu" on both verbs. Hard to tell without knowing what is being said in the whole text.

Answer

Please give some context. As an isolated sentence, I'd use "zu" for both verbs: "Zu lösen und zu vereinfachen ...". But it doesn't make much sense as an isolated sentence.
