I had a challenge figuring this one out because it could be translated to several algebraic expressions. Correct me, is this what you mean?

This is the simplest expression I can come up with and all you have to do is to
(1) divide -14 and 7 which yields (-2)
(2) then divide x^4 by x^3 which yields (x^1) = x
(3) lastly divide y^6 by y^5 which yields (y^1) = y
Finally, you will get the third option as the answer, -2xy. Tell me if this helps. :D
