Answer:
exponent of x is 33
exponent of y is 0
Step-by-step explanation:
you need to combine all powers (exponents) of x, and all exponents of y separately.
remember : x to the power of a divided by x to the power of b is x to the power of (a-b).
when multiplying, the "-" turns into a "+".
so, we have actually for x the exponent calculation :
8 - 14 -(-39) = 8 - 14 + 39 = 33
so, x³³ remains.
and for the y exponents
-26 -(-5) -(-21) = -26 + 5 + 21 = 0
so, all the y expressions eliminate each other and y⁰ remains.
