Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 ways that you can do this problem. The first is just to factor everything and cancel.
x * x * x * x *x * x *x *x
====================
x * x
Two of the xs on the top cancel leaving you with the number 1 on the bottom
x * x * x * x * x * x = x^6
This is one of your answers.
The other is you can notice you get the same thing by subtracting powers.
x^(8 - 2) = x^6
I'm not sure which answer is expected. I would guess the second one.
