I am trying to solve the following differential equation using the Laplace Transform:
L d i d t + R i = E
I have managed to reduce it to the following equation:
I ( s ) = E s L ( s + R / L )
But I'm having a problem with it from there. Can somebody help me solve this please? Any help would be much appreciated.

Your equation has a very simple solution given by
i ( t ) = A e R L t + E R
being A an arbitrary constant. Now, take a look at your Laplace transform
I ( s ) = E s L ( s + R L )
and you will recognize two poles for s = 0 and s = R L . The first pole will give rise to the constant term while the other one is just the exponential contribution.
