Solution - Simplification or other simple results

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "^-5" was replaced by "^(-5)".

(2): "8.5" was replaced by "(85/10)".

Step  1  :

 1.1     10 = 2•5

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

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  85
  —— • ((2)(-5)•(5)(-5))
  10

Step  2  :

            17
 Simplify   ——
            2 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  17
  —— • ((2)(-5)•(5)(-5))
  2 

Step  3  :

Multiplying exponents :

 3.1    2¹  multiplied by  2⁵   = 2^{(1 + 5)} = 2⁶

Final result :

     17             
  ——————— = 0.00009 
  (26•55)
