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 $\frac{x}{x^{2}-16} -\frac{3}{x-4}$

Step 1: Factoring $x^{2} -16$

$x^{2} -16=x^{2} -4^{2} =(x+4)(x-4)$

Step 2: Identifying the LCD, we get $(x+4)(x-4)$

Step 3: Rewriting the second fraction by multiplying x+4 on both top and bottom of second fraction so that we get the LCD.

$\frac{x}{x^2-16}-\frac{3}{x-4}=\frac{x}{(x+4)(x-4)} -\frac{3*(x+4)}{(x-4)*(x+4)} Step 4: Combine like terms since the denominators are same[tex] \frac{x-3(x+4)}{(x+4)(x-4)} =\frac{x-3x-12}{(x+4)(x-4)}=\frac{-2x-12}{(x+4)(x-4)} =\frac{-2(x+6)}{(x+4)(x-4)}$
