Explain how to solve the equation: x^4/x^2

x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A better word than "solve" would be "simplify." The word "equation" does not apply here, since there is no = sign and thus no equation.

The applicable rule here is

x^a / x^b = x^ (a-b), so x^4/x^2 = x^ (4-2) = x^2 (answer in simplest form)
