The first step for simplifying the above fraction is to divide the terms with the same base by subtracting their exponents.
[tex] \frac{15}{18y^{-3-(-7)} } [/tex]
Remember that when there is a "-" sign in front of the parenthesis,, we need to change the sign of each term in the parenthesis. This changes the fraction to the following:
[tex] \frac{15}{18y^{-3+7 } }[/tex]
Calculate the sum of the exponents.
[tex] \frac{15}{18 y^{4} } [/tex]
Lastly,, reduce the fraction with 3 to find your final answer.
[tex] \frac{5}{6 y^{4} } [/tex]
Let me know if you have any further questions.
