Hello!

Answer:


\Large \boxed{\sf (-27 )/(x-7)}

Explanation:

→ We want to simplify:


\sf (4x+1)/(x-7) -4

Convert 4 in a fraction with denominator = x - 7:


\sf (4x+1)/(x-7) -(4)/(1)


\sf (4x+1)/(x-7) - (4(x-7))/(1(x-7))


\sf (4x+1)/(x-7) - (4x-28)/(x-7)

Subtract the two fractions:


\sf (4x+1 -4x-28 )/(x-7)

Simplify the fraction:


\boxed{\sf (-27 )/(x-7)}
