First we will simplify the expression. Then we will put it in the form.

To multiply we will start by making everything a fraction:

When we multiply the numerators we will use the rule for exponents when we multiply the x's: Add the exponents:

which simplifies to:

63/9 = 7 and to divide the x's we use the rule for exponents when you divde: Subtract the exponents:

or

The expression is now simplified. To put it in form we will use a property of negative exponents:

which simplifies to

We can now see that c = 7 and e = 12.
