where every term is nonzero.


So


%2812x%5E8y%5E-7%29%2F%2816x%5E%28-4%29y%5E%28-10%29%29 Start with the given expression.


%283x%5E8y%5E-7%29%2F%284x%5E%28-4%29y%5E%28-10%29%29 Reduce 12%2F16 to get 3%2F4


%283x%5E%288-%28-4%29%29y%5E%28-7-%28-10%29%29%29%2F4 Subtract the corresponding exponents.


%283x%5E%2812%29y%5E%283%29%29%2F4 Subtract
