#=-1/4h-5/(4h^4)#

Separate the equation
#(-2h^5)/(8h^6)-(10h^2)/(8h^6)#
Separate numbers from variables
#-2/8(h^5)/h^6 -10/8(h^2)/h^6#
Divide. Remember to minus the indices from each other when dividing
#-1/4h^(5-6)-5/4h^(2-6#
Simplify
#-1/4h^1-5/4h^-4#
#=-1/4h-5/(4h^4)#

#((-h^3-5))/(4h^4)#

#(-2h^5-10h^2)/(8h^6)#

#:.=(2h^2(-h^3-5))/(8h^6)#

#:.=((-h^3-5))/(4h^(6-2))#

#:.=((-h^3-5))/(4h^4)#
