Oh, he's being a butt. We use the word "solve" only for equations and inequalities. When there is no equal sign "=", or "<", ">", "<", or ">", we say "Simplify", not "Solve". It's SIMPLIFY an EXPRESSION and SOLVE an EQUALITY or INEQUALITY. Anyway it's clear that you wanted to SIMPLIFY the expression: Notice that , because a negative times a negative times a negative is a negative. Subtract the exponents of the y's, larger minus smaller, and put the result on the bottom because the larger power was on the bottom. You have to show the 1 understood in the numerator, so we have: Edwin
