Answer:
The best thing to do would be split the fraction into two:
Step-by-step explanation:
(14xy^4)/(2x^3y^5) - (12x^5y^6)/(2x^3y^5)
Then you would use exponent rules and subtract the exponents of the terms with the same base, so with the first term:
14/2=7
x/x^3=x^-2
y^4/y^5=y^-1
And by the same rules:
12/2=6
x^5/x^3=x^2
y^6/y^5=y
So we now have:
7x^-2y^-1 - 6x^2y
You can then also simplify it by moving the negative exponents in the first term, so the final answer would be:
7/(x^2y) - 6x^2y
