You have a great start to your solution. You've done most of the steps correctly!
Before I finish this problem, let's review what 1/x^-1 is. When you have anything to the -1 power. that means the inverse of what you have. So the inverse of 1/x^-1 is x/1. If you had x^-1, the inverse would be 1/x. If you have the negative sign in the exponent, you won't have to add a negative sign to the number. BAsically, all you have to do is move the number to the top or bottom to get rid of the negative sign.
