\frac{\frac{4}{4\left(x+4\right)}-\frac{x+4}{4\left(x+4\right)}}{x}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 4+x and 4 is 4\left(x+4\right). Multiply \frac{1}{4+x} times \frac{4}{4}. Multiply \frac{1}{4} times \frac{x+4}{x+4}.
\frac{\frac{4-\left(x+4\right)}{4\left(x+4\right)}}{x}
Since \frac{4}{4\left(x+4\right)} and \frac{x+4}{4\left(x+4\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{\frac{4-x-4}{4\left(x+4\right)}}{x}
Do the multiplications in 4-\left(x+4\right).
\frac{\frac{-x}{4\left(x+4\right)}}{x}
Combine like terms in 4-x-4.
\frac{-x}{4\left(x+4\right)x}
Express \frac{\frac{-x}{4\left(x+4\right)}}{x} as a single fraction.
\frac{-1}{4\left(x+4\right)}
Cancel out x in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{-1}{4x+16}
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+4.
