15x^2*y*(-x)^3/3y
now it means here, we will solve power of negative sign so we get negative in starting , now we will divide 15 by 3 so we get 5 , again we will cancel y of numerator with y of denominatoran in last we will add powers of x so we get x^2+3, it means 2^5 , now after combining we get,-5x^5 ans
