Answer: The required simplified expression is -6xy.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to simplify the following rational expression :


E=-(18x^2y)/(3x)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We will be using the following property of exponents :


(z^a)/(z^b)=z^(a-b).

From expression (i), we get


E\\\\\\=-(18x^2y)/(3x)\\\\\\=-(18)/(3)x^(2-1)y\\\\=-6xy.

Thus, the required simplified expression is -6xy.
