Let's simplify each expression step by step:

Expression 1: (7x + 3)

This expression is already simplified and cannot be further simplified.

Expression 2: (x - 9)

This expression is already simplified and cannot be further simplified.

Now, let's simplify the overall expression by subtracting Expression 2 from Expression 1:

(7x + 3) - (x - 9)

To subtract the second expression, we distribute the negative sign to every term inside the parentheses:

7x + 3 - x + 9

Next, we combine like terms:

(7x - x) + (3 + 9)

Simplifying further:

6x + 12

Therefore, the simplified expression is 6x + 12.
