\frac{x+2}{x+4}-\frac{3x+4}{4\left(x+4\right)}
Factor 4x+16.
\frac{4\left(x+2\right)}{4\left(x+4\right)}-\frac{3x+4}{4\left(x+4\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+4 and 4\left(x+4\right) is 4\left(x+4\right). Multiply \frac{x+2}{x+4} times \frac{4}{4}.
\frac{4\left(x+2\right)-\left(3x+4\right)}{4\left(x+4\right)}
Since \frac{4\left(x+2\right)}{4\left(x+4\right)} and \frac{3x+4}{4\left(x+4\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{4x+8-3x-4}{4\left(x+4\right)}
Do the multiplications in 4\left(x+2\right)-\left(3x+4\right).
\frac{x+4}{4\left(x+4\right)}
Combine like terms in 4x+8-3x-4.
\frac{1}{4}
Cancel out x+4 in both numerator and denominator.
