Responses

Subtract the exponents of the numerator and denominator; and write the resulting expression in exponential form.
Subtract the exponents of the numerator and denominator; and write the resulting expression in exponential form.
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.

The correct steps to follow to simplify an exponential expression using the Quotient Rule of Integer Exponents are:

1. **Check if the bases are the same.**
2. **If they are, subtract the exponents of the numerator and denominator.**
3. **Write the resulting expression in exponential form.**

So, the best response from your options would be:
- **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.**

This correctly captures the essence of the Quotient Rule.
