10x%5E2%2F10x%5E1 Start with the given expression
First, simply divide the numerator coefficient 10 by the denominator coefficient 10 to get:
10%2F10=1

Now when you divide x%5E2 by x%5E1, simply subtract the exponents 1 from 2 to get 2-1=1 which becomes the new exponent for x.
So x%5E2%2Fx%5E1=x%5E%282-1%29=x%5E1=x


--------



So 10x%5E2%2F10x%5E1 simplifies to x
