Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

= \frac{4}{10} - \frac{15}{10}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{c} - \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a - b}{c}

= \frac{4 - 15}{10}

Subtract the numbers:

4 - 15 = - 11

= \frac{- 11}{10}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{11}{10}

(a^{2} b^{- 2})^{- 3} (a^{3})^{- 2}

2 x 3

(1 + 5)^{3}

3 x^{2} + 5 + 4 x - 2 - x^{2} - 3 x + 1

27 a^{2} + 72 ab + 48 b^{2}
