Give the 2 and the 3 exponents of 1
Multiply all 6 exponents inside the parentheses,
top and bottom, by the exponent outside the
parentheses, -2.
Move all the factors with negative exponents across
the fraction bar and change their exponents to positive:
Add the exponents of the y's in the top.
Subtract the exponents of the x's
Write 3² as 9 and 2² as 4
