Exponents can be expressed in terms of quotient or fraction.
For example: x^6 can be expressed as x^8 / x^2 = x^8-2 = x^6.
From the question, 5^8 can be expressed as
5^10/5^2 = 5^8
(5^2)(5^8) / (5^2) = 5^8
9..divide both sides by 10 cross out the 10 over 10 leaves 9
It’s 15d^2 -10d is that not an answer choice?
