Canceling terms

Is there a way to get (s+1) to cancel in lines 2 and 3 the way (s+1)^2 cancels in lines 4 and 5?

Thanks
Matt

You must use something more powerful like normal or factor, regroup does not check for inverses.

Sorry to press but, why does line 5 work?

By the way, is there any way to prevent denom() and numer() from simplifying?

Thank you

Because the two inverses are following.
