General Idea:
When simplifying a rational expression, we need to do the below steps:
(i) Factor the Denominator of each fraction
(ii) Identify the Least Common Denominator (It is the product of prime factors involved with its highest exponent)
(iii) Identify and rewrite the equivalent fraction with the desired LCD.
(iv) Once the denominator are same, Combine the numerator.
Applying the concept:
What is the difference x/x^2-16-3/x-4
I assume that you mean to type the expression 
Step 1: Factoring 

Step 2: Identifying the LCD, we get 
Step 3: Rewriting the second fraction by multiplying x+4 on both top and bottom of second fraction so that we get the LCD.
![\frac{x}{x^2-16}-\frac{3}{x-4}=\frac{x}{(x+4)(x-4)} -\frac{3*(x+4)}{(x-4)*(x+4)} Step 4: Combine like terms since the denominators are same[tex] \frac{x-3(x+4)}{(x+4)(x-4)} =\frac{x-3x-12}{(x+4)(x-4)}=\frac{-2x-12}{(x+4)(x-4)} =\frac{-2(x+6)}{(x+4)(x-4)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7Bx%5E2-16%7D-%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7Bx-4%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B%28x%2B4%29%28x-4%29%7D%20%20%20-%5Cfrac%7B3%2A%28x%2B4%29%7D%7B%28x-4%29%2A%28x%2B4%29%7D%20%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3EStep%204%3A%20Combine%20like%20terms%20since%20the%20denominators%20are%20same%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3E%5Btex%5D%20%5Cfrac%7Bx-3%28x%2B4%29%7D%7B%28x%2B4%29%28x-4%29%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7Bx-3x-12%7D%7B%28x%2B4%29%28x-4%29%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B-2x-12%7D%7B%28x%2B4%29%28x-4%29%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B-2%28x%2B6%29%7D%7B%28x%2B4%29%28x-4%29%7D%20%20)
Conclusion:
In factored form the simplified expression 
In expanded form the simplified expression 
1. Add all of the sides
So it should be 22

Answer:
47.4 ;
50
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data :
X ($) : 85 139 161 175 85 133 149 145 136 131 290 235 132 149 322 214 105 90 162 229 121 113 149 126139 118 156 214 172 87 172 230 195 126 128 142 118 139
The smallest class interval :
Range / number of classes
Number of classes to use = 5
Range = Maximum - Minimum = (322 - 85) =237
Hence, smallest class interval :
237 / 5 = 47.4
A better class interval would be, one without decimal, rounded to the nearest 10; this will be easier and make more statistical sense
Hence, smallest class interval rounded to the nearest 10 :
47.4 = 50 (nearest 10)
