The given expression is


(-24x^5-30x^3)/(-6x^2)

First, separate the division, that is, assign the denominator to each term in the numerator.


(-24x^5)/(-6x^2)+(-30x^3)/(-6x^2)

Second, divide the numbers, -24 by -6 and -30 by -6.


(4x^5)/(x^2)+(5x^3)/(x^2)

Third, divide the powers, to do so, subtract their exponents.


4x^(5-2)+5x^(3-2)=4x^3+5x

Therefore, the simplest expression after dividing is


4x^3+5x
