How do you solve #(s-3)/(s+4)=6/(s^2-16)#? Precalculus Solving Rational Equations Solving Rational Equations on a Graphing Calculator 1 Answer Noah G Nov 8, 2016 #s - 3= (6(s + 4))/(s^2 - 16)# Factor the denominator. #s -3 = (6(s + 4))/((s + 4)(s - 4))# #s - 3 = 6/(s - 4)# #(s- 3)(s - 4) = 6# #s^2 - 3s - 4s + 12 = 6# #s^2 - 7s + 6 = 0# #(s - 6)(s - 1) = 0# #s = 6 and 1# Hopefully this helps!
