To simplify an exponential expression using the Quotient Rule of Integer Exponents, you should follow these correct steps:

1. **Check if the bases are the same**: This is important because the Quotient Rule only applies when the bases are identical.

2. **Subtract the exponents of the numerator and denominator**: If the bases are the same, you would subtract the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator.

3. **Write the resulting expression in exponential form**: After performing the subtraction, you express the result as a single power with the common base.

So, the correct response is:

"Check if the bases are the same; if they are, subtract the exponents of the numerator and denominator (leave as-is otherwise); and write the resulting expression in exponential form."
