%22%22=%22%22

Invert the second fraction and change division
to multiplication:

%22%22=%22%22

Multiply tops and bottoms

%285x%5E6%2Ay%29%2F%28x%5E2y%2A10x%5E2%29%22%22=%22%22

Add the exponents of x in the bottom, and
write the 10 coefficient first in the bottom:

%285x%5E6%2Ay%29%2F%2810x%5E4y%29%22%22=%22%22

Cancel the 5 into the 10, getting 2 on the bottom.
Cancel the y's
Subtract the exponents of x, getting x2 in
the top:

%28x%5E2%29%2F2

That's it.
