\frac{3x}{x-4}  - \frac{x+3}{x-4} = \frac{2x+7}{x^2-16}

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

\frac{3x}{x-4}  - \frac{x+3}{x-4} = \frac{2x+7}{(x+4)(x-4)}

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

Answer is x =-4 and x =4

Explanation:

\frac{3x}{x-4} -\frac{x+3}{x+4}=\frac{2x+7}{x^2-16}\\Let us take LCD\\\frac{3x(x+3)-(x+3)(x-4)}{x^2-16}= \frac{2x+7}{x^2-16}

We find that there is a common denominator.

This should not be equal to 0.

i.e. x ≠4 or x ≠-4

Thus x=4 and x=-4 are the excluded values for the rational equation.

Once we exclude these values, we cancel and equate numerator

3x(x+4)-(x+3)(x-4) = 2x+7

Simplify to get  3x^2+12x-x^2+x-12 = 2x+7

2x^2+11x-19 =0

Thus when we exclude those values, we et a quadratic equation with 2 solutions.

Cross multiply

45 times 100= 4500
72 times x= 72x

72x=4500

Divide
