Answer:


(b+1)^2(b+6)

Explanation:

The given rational expression is:


(b)/(b^2+2b+1)-(6)/(b^2+7b+6)

We factor the denominators to get:


(b)/((b+1)^2)-(6)/((b+1)(b+6))

The least common denominator is the product of the highest powers of the common factors of the denominators.

Therefore the least common denominator is:


(b+1)^2(b+6)
