Evaluate
(xa−b×xc−b×xb−a×xc−a)÷(xa−b×xc−b×xb−a×xc−a×xc−b×x2c−a−b)
Dividing by an is the same as multiplying by a−n
xa−b×xc−b×xb−a×xc−a×x−(a−b)×x−(c−b)×x−(b−a)×x−(c−a)×x−(c−b)×x−(2c−a−b)
Calculate
xa−b×xc−b×xb−a×xc−a×x−a+b×x−(c−b)×x−(b−a)×x−(c−a)×x−(c−b)×x−(2c−a−b)
Calculate
xa−b×xc−b×xb−a×xc−a×x−a+b×x−c+b×x−(b−a)×x−(c−a)×x−(c−b)×x−(2c−a−b)
Calculate
xa−b×xc−b×xb−a×xc−a×x−a+b×x−c+b×x−b+a×x−(c−a)×x−(c−b)×x−(2c−a−b)
Calculate
xa−b×xc−b×xb−a×xc−a×x−a+b×x−c+b×x−b+a×x−c+a×x−(c−b)×x−(2c−a−b)
Calculate
xa−b×xc−b×xb−a×xc−a×x−a+b×x−c+b×x−b+a×x−c+a×x−c+b×x−(2c−a−b)
Calculate
xa−b×xc−b×xb−a×xc−a×x−a+b×x−c+b×x−b+a×x−c+a×x−c+b×x−2c+a+b
Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents
