X > 6 i think is the answer
This is the work and the answer is 4/23 or (in decimal form) 0.17391304

I think this is what you meant.
The rule for quotients of similar bases with different exponents is:
(a^c)/(a^b)=a^(c-b) in this case:
15^18/(15^3)=15^15
Since the "leading" runner in a race would be found in the first position, because he or she is in the lead, it means they are first, then I suppose I would find the "leading coefficient" in the first place in a polynomial as well.
