1. **Stating the problem:** A man buys a certain number of shirts for 2000 FRW. Each shirt costs some price, and if the price per shirt were 200 FRW less, he could buy 5 more shirts for the same total money.
2. **Define variables:** Let $x$ be the number of shirts bought.
Let $p$ be the price per shirt.
3. **Form the first equation:** Total cost is $2000$, so
$$x \times p = 2000$$
4. **Form the second equation:** If each shirt cost $200$ FRW less, the price per shirt is $p - 200$.
He could buy $x + 5$ shirts for the same total money, so
$$(x + 5)(p - 200) = 2000$$
5. **Express $p$ from the first equation:**
$$p = \frac{2000}{x}$$
6. **Substitute $p$ into the second equation:**
$$(x + 5)\left(\frac{2000}{x} - 200\right) = 2000$$
7. **Simplify the expression:**
$$(x + 5)\left(\frac{2000 - 200x}{x}\right) = 2000$$
Multiply both sides by $x$:
$$(x + 5)(2000 - 200x) = 2000x$$
Expand the left side:
$$2000x + 10000 - 200x^2 - 1000x = 2000x$$
Simplify terms:
$$2000x - 1000x + 10000 - 200x^2 = 2000x$$
$$1000x + 10000 - 200x^2 = 2000x$$
Bring all terms to one side:
$$1000x + 10000 - 200x^2 - 2000x = 0$$
Simplify:
$$-200x^2 - 1000x + 10000 = 0$$
Divide entire equation by $-200$:
$$x^2 + 5x - 50 = 0$$
8. **Name of the expression:** This is a quadratic equation formed from the problem conditions.
**Final answers:**
(a) The simplified expression is $$x^2 + 5x - 50 = 0$$
(b) This expression is called a quadratic equation.
