$(\frac{x^{5} y^{2}}{w z^{3}}) - 3$

Step 1

Move $x^{5}$ in $\frac{x^{5} y^{2}}{w z^{3}}$ to the denominator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{y^{2}}{w z^{3} x^{- 5}}$

Step 2

Move $y^{2}$ in $\frac{y^{2}}{w z^{3} x^{- 5}}$ to the denominator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{1}{w z^{3} x^{- 5} y^{- 2}}$

Step 3

Move $w^{1}$ in $\frac{1}{w z^{3} x^{- 5} y^{- 2}}$ to the numerator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{w^{- 1}}{z^{3} x^{- 5} y^{- 2}}$

Step 4

Move $z^{3}$ in $\frac{w^{- 1}}{z^{3} x^{- 5} y^{- 2}}$ to the numerator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{w^{- 1} z^{- 3}}{w x^{- 5} y^{- 2}}$

Step 5

Rewrite the expression with the negative exponents.

$\frac{w^{- 1} z^{- 3}}{w x^{- 5} y^{- 2}} - 3$
