Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
a^-2b^8c^-8 x cb^8/(b^10c^-8)^2
=b^8/a^2c^8 x cb^8/b^20c^-16
=b^8/a^2c^8 x c^17/b^12
= c^17/c^8 x b^8/b^12 x 1/a^2
=c^(17-8) x b^(8-12) x 1/a^2
=c^9b^-4/a^2
= c^9/a^2b^4 = solution that eliminates negative exponents and combines like terms
or if you want to eliminate fractions then =a^-2b^-4c^9
combine like terms by adding their exponents
square a term by doubling its exponent
