Question 116256

{{{10x^2/10x^1}}} Start with the given expression

First, simply divide the numerator coefficient 10 by the denominator coefficient 10 to get: 

{{{10/10=1}}} 


Now when you divide {{{x^2}}} by {{{x^1}}}, simply subtract the exponents 1 from 2 to get {{{2-1=1}}} which becomes the new exponent for x.

So {{{x^2/x^1=x^(2-1)=x^1=x}}}



--------

 



So {{{10x^2/10x^1}}} simplifies to {{{x}}}
