Question

1 of 20
write the expression in simplest form:
$\frac{-15x^{6}y^{5}z^{3}}{-3x^{5}y^{3}} = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the coefficients

$\frac{-15}{-3} = 5$

Step2: Simplify the $x$-terms

$\frac{x^6}{x^5} = x^{6-5} = x^1 = x$

Step3: Simplify the $y$-terms

$\frac{y^5}{y^3} = y^{5-3} = y^2$

Step4: Carry over the $z$-term

$z^3$ (no like term in denominator, so remains)

Step5: Combine all simplified parts

$5 \times x \times y^2 \times z^3$

Answer:

$5xy^2z^3$
