please help me solve this equation:

\r\n" );
document.write( "  \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Remove the parentheses on the bottom by multiplying\r\n" );
document.write( "each inner exponent by the outer exponent \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Get rid of the negative exponents by \r\n" );
document.write( "1. Move them up or down across the fraction bar\r\n" );
document.write( "2. Change the sign of the exponent to positive:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In this case we move the  down to\r\n" );
document.write( "the bottom as  and we move the \r\n" );
document.write( "up to the top as  \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now subtract exponents of the x's\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "or if you prefer you can subtract\r\n" );
document.write( "exponents the other way and get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Either is correct since they are\r\n" );
document.write( "equivalent.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "=======================================\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Make sure every factor in both numerator\r\n" );
document.write( "shows its exponent, whether it is a number \r\n" );
document.write( "or a letter, and even if it has exponent 1:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Remove the parentheses by multiplying each\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Finally we write  as \r\n" );
