\frac{s - 4}{s - 2} =

____

Identify Expression: Identify the expression after substituting $s = 6$ $\newline$ Substitute $6$ for $s$ in $\frac{s - 4}{s - 2}$ . $\newline$ $\frac{6 - 4}{6 - 2}$
Substitute and Evaluate: Evaluate $6 - 4$ $\newline$ $6 - 4 = 2$ $\newline$ Numerator: $2$
Evaluate Numerator: Evaluate $6 - 2$ $\newline$ $6 - 2 = 4$ $\newline$ Denominator: $4$
Evaluate Denominator: $\frac{2}{4}$ $\newline$ Rewrite the fraction in simplest form. $\newline$ Divide both $2$ and $4$ by $2$ to simplify. $\newline$ $\frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$
