HELP!!! Having trouble with simplifying equations!!!?

In algebra, I am struggling in simplifying the following equation:(a^2)^5(2x^2)^4_____________ <------ Pretend thats a fractional bar (the only way

In algebra, I am struggling in simplifying the following equation:

(a^2)^5(2x^2)^4
_____________ <------ Pretend that's a fractional bar (the only way I can post this)

2^5(a^3)^3(x^3)^2

I was able to solve the exponents but I couldn't continue. If somebody could please give me the solution with step by step explanations to the equation I would be very thankful. Thank you!

or:*Brackets ([,]) were only used as a way to group the top and bottom parts of the fraction. They aren't necessary.* 1. So exponents first, obviously. [(a^10)(2^4x^8)]/[2^5(a^9)(x^6)] 2. Rewrite numbers with exponents without them (can be done as step one) [(a^10)(16x^8)]/[32(a^9)(x^6)]3. Multiply the top and bottom, separately. [16a^10x^8]/[32a^9x^6]4. Divide the whole numbers and subtract the exponents of like variables. [1a^1x^2]/2 5. As the exponents on bottom are smaller than those on the top, there are no negatives so you don't have to move anything. Optional answers: a.) 1a^1x^2 _______ 2b.) ax^2 _____ 2c.) 1ax^2 ______ 2**Some teachers would like the 1s, and some don't care. You can drop them or leave them.**
