Answer 2

The first step for simplifying the above fraction is to divide the terms with the same base by subtracting their exponents.

`(15)/(18y^(-3-(-7)) )`
Remember that when there is a "-" sign in front of the parenthesis,, we need to change the sign of each term in the parenthesis. This changes the fraction to the following:

`(15)/(18y^(-3+7 ) )`
Calculate the sum of the exponents.

`(15)/(18 y^(4) )`
Lastly,, reduce the fraction with 3 to find your final answer.

`(5)/(6 y^(4) )`
