You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+%283x%5E0%29%28-2x%29%5E4%2F24x%5E5+
Anything to the 0 equals 1
+%283%29%28-2x%29%5E4%2F24x%5E5+
work the (-2x)^4 there is an understood 1 on the -2 and the x
when working power to power, we multiply the exponents
+%283%29%28-2%5E4%29%28x%5E4%29%2F24x%5E5+
Work the -2^4
+%283%29%2816%29%28x%5E4%29%2F24x%5E5+
Multiply
+48x%5E4%2F24x%5E5+
Reduce the numbers
+2x%5E4%2Fx%5E5+
Reduce the variables
+2%2Fx+
Dead on!!
