\frac{x+7}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+7\right)}-\frac{27-3x}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+7\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x-5 and \left(x-5\right)\left(x+7\right) is \left(x-5\right)\left(x+7\right). Multiply \frac{1}{x-5} times \frac{x+7}{x+7}.
\frac{x+7-\left(27-3x\right)}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+7\right)}
Since \frac{x+7}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+7\right)} and \frac{27-3x}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+7\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x+7-27+3x}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+7\right)}
Do the multiplications in x+7-\left(27-3x\right).
\frac{4x-20}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+7\right)}
Combine like terms in x+7-27+3x.
\frac{4\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+7\right)}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{4x-20}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+7\right)}.
\frac{4}{x+7}
Cancel out x-5 in both numerator and denominator.
