\frac{x-1}{7\left(x+7\right)}-\frac{x+1}{9\left(x+7\right)}
Factor 7x+49. Factor 9x+63.
\frac{9\left(x-1\right)}{63\left(x+7\right)}-\frac{7\left(x+1\right)}{63\left(x+7\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 7\left(x+7\right) and 9\left(x+7\right) is 63\left(x+7\right). Multiply \frac{x-1}{7\left(x+7\right)} times \frac{9}{9}. Multiply \frac{x+1}{9\left(x+7\right)} times \frac{7}{7}.
\frac{9\left(x-1\right)-7\left(x+1\right)}{63\left(x+7\right)}
Since \frac{9\left(x-1\right)}{63\left(x+7\right)} and \frac{7\left(x+1\right)}{63\left(x+7\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{9x-9-7x-7}{63\left(x+7\right)}
Do the multiplications in 9\left(x-1\right)-7\left(x+1\right).
\frac{2x-16}{63\left(x+7\right)}
Combine like terms in 9x-9-7x-7.
\frac{2x-16}{63x+441}
Expand 63\left(x+7\right).
\frac{x-1}{7\left(x+7\right)}-\frac{x+1}{9\left(x+7\right)}
