the first step is to deal with the negative exponents, which causes numbers to go to the other side of the fraction
8x^{-9}+(-3x^{-3}y^{-2})(\frac{5}{x^6y^{-2}})
goes to

now we can simplify the multiplied terms

Now that we have common bases, we can add the 2 fractions together to get

BANK A:
5,000*0.03*5=750
BANK B:
5,000*0.025*6=750
They are the same
