You would subtract the exponents. For instance, when solving (x-3)5/(x-3)2, you would find an answer of (x-3)3.

i guess u subtract the exponents
What is terms with the same variables raised to the same exponents?
like terms
If two exponents have the same factor or base what happens to the exponents when the exponents are multipled?
The exponents are added.
When multiplying a number exponents that are squared do you add or multiply?
If the base numbers or variables are the same, you add the exponents.
Is x and y like terms?
No. For purposes of combining "like terms", you need terms that have exactly the same variables, with the same exponents (if there are any).
When multiplying terms with the same base you do what to the exponents?
Sum the exponents.

How do you simplify exponents or powers in algebra?
When multiplying exponents with the same base add them: x^3*x^2 = x^5 When dividing exponents with the same base subtract them: x^3/x^2 = x^1 or x
What is the quotients rule of exponents in Algebra?
The quotient rule of exponents in Algebra states that dividing expressions with the same base you subtract the exponents. However, the base cannot be equal to zero.The above statement follows this rule in Algebra:xm/xn = xm-n;x cannot equal 0Here's an example:x15/x5 = x15-5 = x10
What is the general rule for dividing exponents with the same base?
It is the base raised to the exponent used in the numerator minus the exponent for the denominator. That is, a^x / a^y = a^(x-y)
How do you divide a exponent?
If you have the same base on both of the exponents that you are dividing, all you have to do is subtract the exponent. For example if I have a problem like: 66/ 63, your answer will be 63.
What is 10 to the fourth power multiplied by 10 to the seventh power?
10^4 * 10^7 = 10^11 When multiplying exponents with the same base (in this case, 10), you add the exponents (4+7). If you were dividing, you'd subtract the exponents.
