@Luis_Rivera Help!

OpenStudy (marco26):

Yo got a rule that when dividing the same variable with exponents, the exponent of the denominator is being subtracted from the exponent of the numerator. You do that here. For instance,\[\frac{ x ^{-4} }{ x ^{-3} }=x ^{-4--3}=x ^{^{-1}}=\frac{ 1 }{x }\]. You do the rest :)
