The problem (x5y2) / (yx2) can be written as: (x·x·x·x·x·y·y) / (y·x·x)
and can be simplified by cancelling out the same factors in the numerator and denominator to end with: x3y
(Or, since you are dividing, subtract the exponents from the same factors.)
That is very rude anon!
Geno stated his interpretation and his answer is correct.
An alternate interpretation is
x5y2y×x2=x7y
We do not mind constructive criticism or polite questioning of our answers but there is no need for outright rudeness!!
Thanks for your answer Geno :)
