(x-1)/(x-4)

What are the instructions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it was (x^2 + 3x - 4)/(x^2-16) Which factor do you cancel from the numerator and denominator to simplify

OpenStudy (precal):

\[((x+4)(x-1))/((x-4)(x+4))\] You can out the x+4 from the top and bottom. You are left with your solution.

hero (hero):

Hmm, I never woulda thunk to do that, lol

OpenStudy (precal):

I meant to say "you can cancel out (x+4)"
