Hi,

Just like typing up the question is difficult, typing up the solution is a bit confusing as well, so I decided to write it down and add as a picture (see below). It is all exponent rules that need to be applied. Let me know if this helps. If you have any questions, feel free to ask of couse!

Good luck!
