You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Simplify:(I say SIMPLIFY because you don't know the values of r, t, or z, so you cannot EVALUATE or SOLVE).
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16r%5E3tz%5E5%2F%28-4rt%5E3z%5E2%29\"$ To simplify, you want to cancel like-factors in the numerator and the denominator. If you are not sure how to do this, you can rewrite the expression showing the factors:
\n" ); document.write( "

Cancel the indicated like-factors to leave you with:
