\frac{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}-\frac{x\left(x-7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x-7 and x+7 is \left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right). Multiply \frac{x+4}{x-7} times \frac{x+7}{x+7}. Multiply \frac{x}{x+7} times \frac{x-7}{x-7}.
\frac{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+7\right)-x\left(x-7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}
Since \frac{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)} and \frac{x\left(x-7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x^{2}+7x+4x+28-x^{2}+7x}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(x+4\right)\left(x+7\right)-x\left(x-7\right).
\frac{18x+28}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}
Combine like terms in x^{2}+7x+4x+28-x^{2}+7x.
\frac{18x+28}{x^{2}-49}
Expand \left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right).
\frac{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}-\frac{x\left(x-7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x-7 and x+7 is \left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right). Multiply \frac{x+4}{x-7} times \frac{x+7}{x+7}. Multiply \frac{x}{x+7} times \frac{x-7}{x-7}.
\frac{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+7\right)-x\left(x-7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}
Since \frac{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)} and \frac{x\left(x-7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x^{2}+7x+4x+28-x^{2}+7x}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(x+4\right)\left(x+7\right)-x\left(x-7\right).
\frac{18x+28}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}
Combine like terms in x^{2}+7x+4x+28-x^{2}+7x.
\frac{18x+28}{x^{2}-49}
Expand \left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right).
