The answer to this question involves rules of exponents and algebra.

Explanation:

First, we need to solve the like terms. As you might know, in exponents we subtract the powers while dividing the terms. Hence,

= x^"5-1" y^"1-1" . 18/2 z^"4-3"

=x^4 y^0 . 9z^1

=x^4. 9z { because any exponent raised to power zero = 1}

or 9zx^4 is the answer.
