You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It turns out that %28x%5E2%29%281%2F%289x%5E3%29%29%2863x%5E%28-11%29%29=7%2F%28x%5E12%29 (let me know if you need help finding this)


So this means that c%2F%28x%5Ee%29=7%2F%28x%5E12%29. You found that c=7, which is correct. Since x%5Ee=x%5E12, this means that e=12
