What Tetration said is completely correct.  YOU MUST USE BRACKETS.

Otherwise we do not know what your intended answer is!!

z6x3/z4x5

 

In power towers like these, always solve from the "deepest level" first, in the notation, the highest level.

 

z216x3/z1024x5

 

Remember the formula:

 

ab / ac = ab - c

 

We get:

 

z216x31024x5=zx3(2161024x2)=z8x3(27128x2)

 

Did you want it expressed in some other way?

z6x3z4x5=z64x53=z2x2

Yeah, the more experienced math helper and friend Melody, and me, interpreted the question differently. 

 

At any rate, please include paranthesis and/or multiplication symbols to make the question unambiguous. :)

Tetration and I have interpreted your question differently.  To tell you the truth either of us interpreted it as it tecnically should have been interpreted.

Technically this is correct.

z^6x^3/z^4x^5

 

z6×x3z4×x5=z6x3x5z4=z2x81=z2x8=z2x8
