\frac{1}{x+4}-\frac{5}{3\left(x+4\right)}
Factor 3x+12.
\frac{3}{3\left(x+4\right)}-\frac{5}{3\left(x+4\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+4 and 3\left(x+4\right) is 3\left(x+4\right). Multiply \frac{1}{x+4} times \frac{3}{3}.
\frac{-2}{3\left(x+4\right)}
Since \frac{3}{3\left(x+4\right)} and \frac{5}{3\left(x+4\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators. Subtract 5 from 3 to get -2.
\frac{-2}{3x+12}
Expand 3\left(x+4\right).
