the answer is 3x+3 over x+7 . Since the fractions have the same denominator, you can focus on just the subtraction on the top. You subtract 2x from 5x and 1 from 4.

Answer:


(3(x+3))/((x+7)).

Explanation:

We have simplify the expression given as


((5x+4))/((x+7))-((2x+1))/((x+7))

=
((5x+4)-(2x+1))/((x+7))

=
((5x-2x)+(4-1))/((x+7))

=
(3x+3)/(x+7)

=
(3(x+3))/((x+7))

Therefore,answer is
(3(x+3))/((x+7))
