Here.

Explanation:

Start by crossing out the x of the numerator with that of the denominator using indices rules.

x3x2=x

That's because the rule of indices states that when powers are divided, they get subtracted.

Do the same for the y.

You get:

y2y3=1y

Now since you can't simplify the 2 and the 3, you can leave them:

3x2y
