Answer:

x^-6 or 1/x^6

Explanation:

Start by rewriting the problem:

x^-150 / x^-144

Since the exponents are both negative - flip the fraction and eliminate the negative signs.

x^144 / x^150

Now, we subtract the denom from the numerator leaving...

simplified to 1/ x^6 or x^-6 (either of these is correct but the first one is considered truly simplified)

The question you took in the photo is just asking what the power of x is...

so -6 is the answer.
