Question

I can you solve this?

Answer 1

Would it be easier if you looked at it like this:

`(10)/(2) * ( x^(2) )/(x) * ( y^(5) )/( y^(8) )`

In division exponents subtract:

`(10)/(2) * ( x^(2) )/(x) * ( y^(5) )/( y^(8) ) = 5 * x * (1)/( y^(3) )`


`5 * x * (1)/( y^(3) ) = (5x)/( y^(3) )`

Answer 2

5xy^5 because 10/2=5 then remove the y^8 then collect like terms which leaves u with 5xy^5
