When same bases are multiplied their powers are added
a^(5 + (-3)) = a^2

Answer:

The answer is A^2

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are dividing, You subtract exponents if they have the same base.

The base (variables) are the same. So you subtract the powers.

Which are 5 and -3. You subtract those two powers 5 minus negative -3 which gives you 2.  So it's  a^-2

Sorry for the long explanation I hope you understand it. And if I made it harder to understand the answer sorry oops have a good day and stay safe ;D.
