Answer:

Explanation:

First expand the numerator by distributing in the 2 outside the parenthesis to get


(16x^6y^4)/(2x^6y) and now, working on one thing at a time, we will divide:

16 x⁶ y⁴

2 x⁶ y

I separated each set of like expressions to make it easier to see. First divide the numbers, 16 by 2:

8 x⁶ y⁴

x⁶ y

the x's cancel out (divide to a 1):

8 y⁴

y

and by the rules for dividing like bases, we will subtract the exponents, lower from upper to get, finally:

8y³
