$$\frac{x^4+x^2-16}{x^2+3x+2} = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{x^4+x^2-16}{x^2+3x+2} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ x^2+3x+2 }. \\[1 em](x^2+3x+2)\frac{x^4+x^2-16}{x^2+3x+2} &= (x^2+3x+2)\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]x^4+x^2-16 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
