<PRE><B>Question 143263</B>

{{{(15x^6)/(3x^7)}}} Start with the given expression.



{{{x^(6-7)}}} Remember when you divide monomials, you subtract their corresponding exponents. For instance {{{x^2/x^3=x^(2-3)=x^-1}}}



{{{5x^-1}}} Simplify.  Remember to reduce the coefficients (which are numbers in front of the variables) to get {{{15/3=5}}}.



{{{5/x}}} Rewrite {{{5x^-1}}} as {{{5/x^1=5/x}}}




--------------------------------------------
Answer:


So {{{(15x^6)/(3x^7)}}} simplifies to {{{5/x}}}.


In other words, {{{(15x^6)/(3x^7)=5/x}}}.
