Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "^-2" was replaced by "^(-2)".

Step  1  :

 1.1     10 = 2•5

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

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (103) • ((2)(-2)•(5)(-2))

Step  2  :

 2.1     10 = 2•5

(10)³ = (2•5)³ = 2³ • 5³

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  (23•53) • ((2)(-2)•(5)(-2))

Step  3  :

Dividing exponents :

 3.1    2³   divided by   2²   = 2^{(3 - 2)} = 2¹ = 2

Dividing exponents :

 3.2    5³   divided by   5²   = 5^{(3 - 2)} = 5¹ = 5

Final result :

  10
