You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your answer is correct! Good job!
.
I suspect that pretty soon you'll be learning a few shortcut methods of doing problems
such as these by subtracting exponents, but the method that you used is a good way to see
what is going on in the process of simplification.

Keep up the good work.
