Can you help me with a math equation

2timesy^5timesx^2
------------ ( division line)
2timesy^6times x


What would that equal?

A)x/y
B)x/y^2
C) x^2/y
D)xy

2timesy^5timesx^2
------------ ( division line)
2timesy^6times x

2y^5x^2)/2y^6x

2/2=1

when you divide exponents, you subtract
y^5/y^6=y^(5-6)=y^-1
y^-1=1/y

x^2/x=x^(2-1)=x^1=x

A)x/y

I must be going blind. LOL

x/y
A

if you care to know why, 2/2 = 1
y^5 / y^6 = 1/ y^1 (find out where the exponent is bigger, subtract bigger - smaller) (5 -6) = -1 since its negative 1, you put it on bottom so it would be 1/y^1
x^2/ x = x (obviously 2-1 =1 )

The answer is A.
