Question

I do not the correct steps to solve for this problem. I know I have to first remove the negatives but from there I get confused. This is all the further I could get. Please help. The negative numbers are powers and the problem is a fraction.
C-3D-2 C3D2
C-4D-5 C4D5

Answer 1

If you mean

c^-3 d^-2 / c^3 d^2
-------------------------
c^-4 d^-5 / c^4 d^5

Then that is equal to

c^-6 d^-4
---------------
c^-8 d^-10

= (c^-6 d^-4) * (c^8 d^10)
= c^2 d^6

If that's not what you had in mind, try retyping your problem using exponents and division as shown above.
