Question

Simplify, no negative exponents. -40x²y -8x²y

Answer 1

Answer:

5x^5

y^4

Step-by-step explanation:

-40 ÷ -8 = 5. Then subtract x to the 2nd from x to the 7th, which is x to the 5th. And once you do the same with y, you get y to -4. But since there can't be any negative exponents, you bring that down, giving you the final answer.
