\frac{\left(x-9\right)\left(x-7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}-\frac{\left(x+7\right)\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-9}{x+7} times \frac{x-7}{x-7}. Multiply \frac{x+7}{x-7} times \frac{x+7}{x+7}.
\frac{\left(x-9\right)\left(x-7\right)-\left(x+7\right)\left(x+7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}
Since \frac{\left(x-9\right)\left(x-7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)} and \frac{\left(x+7\right)\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-9x+63-x^{2}-7x-7x-49}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(x-9\right)\left(x-7\right)-\left(x+7\right)\left(x+7\right).
\frac{-30x+14}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}
Combine like terms in x^{2}-7x-9x+63-x^{2}-7x-7x-49.
\frac{-30x+14}{x^{2}-49}
Expand \left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right).
\frac{\left(x-9\right)\left(x-7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}-\frac{\left(x+7\right)\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-9}{x+7} times \frac{x-7}{x-7}. Multiply \frac{x+7}{x-7} times \frac{x+7}{x+7}.
\frac{\left(x-9\right)\left(x-7\right)-\left(x+7\right)\left(x+7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}
Since \frac{\left(x-9\right)\left(x-7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)} and \frac{\left(x+7\right)\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-9x+63-x^{2}-7x-7x-49}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(x-9\right)\left(x-7\right)-\left(x+7\right)\left(x+7\right).
\frac{-30x+14}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)}
