\frac{-16\left(x+9\right)}{\left(x+5\right)\left(x+9\right)}+\frac{14\left(x+5\right)}{\left(x+5\right)\left(x+9\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+5 and x+9 is \left(x+5\right)\left(x+9\right). Multiply \frac{-16}{x+5} times \frac{x+9}{x+9}. Multiply \frac{14}{x+9} times \frac{x+5}{x+5}.
\frac{-16\left(x+9\right)+14\left(x+5\right)}{\left(x+5\right)\left(x+9\right)}
Since \frac{-16\left(x+9\right)}{\left(x+5\right)\left(x+9\right)} and \frac{14\left(x+5\right)}{\left(x+5\right)\left(x+9\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
