In step 1 the difference of 1.5x(-3.2) & 1.5x(2.5) should be written as a sum. Hope that’s right :).
Start by distributing the exponent to each of the terms in
. This will become
, and
. Now, the expression is:
.
We can now simplify the bottom to read:
because when multiplying variables raised to an exponent, we add the exponents. The expression now looks like:

The 2/8 simplifies to 1/4:

Now, we have two u terms on the top and bottom. When dividing variables raised to an exponent, we subtract the exponents. However, since 3-5=-2, the term will be on the bottom to avoid the negative exponent. The final answer is:

Hope this makes sense!!
