Answer:

(10x³y² − 18x³) ÷ (3y)

Explanation:

(-10x⁷y⁶ + 18x⁷y⁴) ÷ (-3x⁴y⁵)

Find the greatest common factor (GCF) for the numerator and denominator.

Each is divisible by x⁴y⁴.

x⁴y⁴ (-10x³y² + 18x³) ÷ (x⁴y⁴ (-3y))

(-10x³y² + 18x³) ÷ (-3y)

Usually, denominators aren't negative, so we can multiply the numerator and denominator by -1.

(10x³y² − 18x³) ÷ (3y)

If you wish, you can also distribute:

(10x³y²) ÷ (3y) − (18x³) ÷ (3y)

(10x³y) ÷ (3) − (6x³) ÷ (y)
