We factor the denominators
Factor x^2 - 16
x^2 - 4^2
We use a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)
so x^2 - 4^2 = (x+4)(x-4)
Replace it in the given equation
Excluded values are the values that makes the denominator 0
we have (x-4) and (x+4) in the denominator
We set the denominator =0 and solve for x
x-4 =0
Add 4 on both sides
x= 4
x+4=0
subtract 4 onboth side
so x= -4
Excluded values are x=-4 and x=4
