Question

find the difference simplify
8s/ s^2-14s+49 - 56/ S^2-14s+49

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 8s }{ s ^{2}-14s+49 }-\frac{ 56 }{ s ^{2}-14s+49 }\]

Answer 2

Why is that hard? The denominators are the same already. Just combine the numerators. No?

Answer 3

i get confused on the simplify and plus im learning off a computer so its not that easy to learn

Answer 4

Fair enough.

First, \(\dfrac{a}{b} + \dfrac{c}{b} = \dfrac{a+c}{b}\). It's the way fractions work.

How do we apply this to your expression?

Answer 5

\[\frac{ 8s-56 }{ s ^{2}-14s+49 }\]

Answer 6

That's it. Now, start factoring.
