Simplify, no negative
exponents.
-40x²y
-8x²y

Answer:
5x^5
y^4
Step-by-step explanation:
-40 ÷ -8 = 5. Then subtract x to the 2nd from x to the 7th, which is x to the 5th. And once you do the same with y, you get y to -4. But since there can't be any negative exponents, you bring that down, giving you the final answer.
