Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "^-5" was replaced by "^(-5)". 1 more similar replacement(s)

(2): "1.7" was replaced by "(17/10)".

Step  1  :

 1.1     10 = 2•5

(10)^-3 = (2•5)^(-3) = (2)^(-3) • (5)^(-3)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   17
  (—— • ((2)(-3)•(5)(-3)))-5
