Let's simplify x%5E2x%5E5+

ERROR Algebra::Solver::Engine::invoke_solver_noengine: solver not defined for name 'monomial_arithmetic'.
Error occurred executing solver 'monomial_arithmetic' .




So this means that x%5E2x%5E5=x%5E7


So the answer is


%28x%5E2x%5E5%29%2F%28x%5E%28-8%29%29=%28x%5E7%29%2F%28x%5E%28-8%29%29+


which means that the answer choice is A)
