Answer:


\huge\boxed{7^(x-y)}

Explanation:

We can use basic exponent rules to simplify this expression.

We know that
a^b / a^c = a^(b-c).

Since we have the same base (7) and different exponents (x, y), we can subtract the exponents and raise the base to that power.


7^(x-y)

Hope this helped!
