\frac{1}{x+3}-\frac{x^{2}-7}{2\left(x+3\right)}
Factor 2x+6.
\frac{2}{2\left(x+3\right)}-\frac{x^{2}-7}{2\left(x+3\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+3 and 2\left(x+3\right) is 2\left(x+3\right). Multiply \frac{1}{x+3} times \frac{2}{2}.
\frac{2-\left(x^{2}-7\right)}{2\left(x+3\right)}
Since \frac{2}{2\left(x+3\right)} and \frac{x^{2}-7}{2\left(x+3\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{2-x^{2}+7}{2\left(x+3\right)}
Do the multiplications in 2-\left(x^{2}-7\right).
\frac{9-x^{2}}{2\left(x+3\right)}
Combine like terms in 2-x^{2}+7.
\frac{\left(x-3\right)\left(-x-3\right)}{2\left(x+3\right)}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{9-x^{2}}{2\left(x+3\right)}.
\frac{-\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)}{2\left(x+3\right)}
Extract the negative sign in -3-x.
\frac{-\left(x-3\right)}{2}
Cancel out x+3 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{-x+3}{2}
To find the opposite of x-3, find the opposite of each term.
\frac{1}{x+3}-\frac{x^{2}-7}{2\left(x+3\right)}
