I suppose you just have to simplify this expression.

(2ˣ⁺² - 2ˣ⁺³) / (2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺²)

Divide through every term by the lowest power of 2, which would be <em>x</em> + 1 :

… = (2ˣ⁺²/2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺³/2ˣ⁺¹) / (2ˣ⁺¹/2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺²/2ˣ⁺¹)

Recall that <em>n</em>ª / <em>n</em>ᵇ = <em>n</em>ª⁻ᵇ, so that we have

… = (2⁽ˣ⁺²⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ - 2⁽ˣ⁺³⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾) / (2⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ - 2⁽ˣ⁺²⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾)

… = (2¹ - 2²) / (2⁰ - 2¹)

… = (2 - 4) / (1 - 2)

… = (-2) / (-1)

… = 2

Another way to get the same result: rewrite every term as a multiple of <em>y</em> = 2ˣ :

… = (2²×2ˣ - 2³×2ˣ) / (2×2ˣ - 2²×2ˣ)

… = (4×2ˣ - 8×2ˣ) / (2×2ˣ - 4×2ˣ)

… = (4<em>y</em> - 8<em>y</em>) / (2<em>y</em> - 4<em>y</em>)

… = (-4<em>y</em>) / (-2<em>y</em>)

… = 2
