Question 87021
Start with the given expression


{{{30x^3y^4/6x^9y^-4}}}


When you divide common bases with exponents, you subtract the exponents



{{{30x^(3-9)y^(4--4)/6}}}  Subtract the exponents (note: this eliminates the variables and exponents in the denominator)



{{{30x^(-6)y^8/6}}}



{{{5x^-6y^8}}} Divide {{{30/6}}}


{{{5y^8/x^6}}} Flip any variables that have negative exponents
