Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First expand the numerator by distributing in the 2 outside the parenthesis to get
and now, working on one thing at a time, we will divide:
<u>16 x⁶ y⁴</u>
2 x⁶ y
I separated each set of like expressions to make it easier to see. First divide the numbers, 16 by 2:
<u>8 x⁶ y⁴</u>
x⁶ y
the x's cancel out (divide to a 1):
<u>8 y⁴</u>
y
and by the rules for dividing like bases, we will subtract the exponents, lower from upper to get, finally:
8y³
