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

\frac{x-3x-3}{3\left(x+4\right)}
Do the multiplications in x-3\left(x+1\right).
\frac{-2x-3}{3\left(x+4\right)}
Combine like terms in x-3x-3.
\frac{-2x-3}{3x+12}
Expand 3\left(x+4\right).
