easiest to just start with each type of variables
24%2F72=1%2F3 simple reduction with numerical values
x%5E%283-%28-5%29%29=x%5E8 when dividing exponents, exponents will be subtracted
y%5E%28-3-%28-1%29%29=y%5E-2
%28x%5E8y%5E%28-2%29%29%2F3omg i did this problem injustice im sry had to redo this part, this is what happens when i dont check my work im sorry
%28x%5E8%2F3%29%28y%5E%28-2%29%2F1%29
%28x%5E8%2F3%29%281%2Fy%5E2%29
%28x%5E8%29%2F%283y%5E2%29
this is correct now i dont know what i was thinking
