\frac{x+1}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+1\right)}-\frac{x+7}{x^{2}-x-42}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{x+1}{x^{2}-6x-7}.
\frac{1}{x-7}-\frac{x+7}{x^{2}-x-42}
Cancel out x+1 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{1}{x-7}-\frac{x+7}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)}
Factor x^{2}-x-42.
\frac{x+6}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)}-\frac{x+7}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x-7 and \left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right) is \left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right). Multiply \frac{1}{x-7} times \frac{x+6}{x+6}.
\frac{x+6-\left(x+7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)}
Since \frac{x+6}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)} and \frac{x+7}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x+6-x-7}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)}
Do the multiplications in x+6-\left(x+7\right).
\frac{-1}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)}
Combine like terms in x+6-x-7.
\frac{-1}{x^{2}-x-42}
Expand \left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right).
\frac{x+1}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+1\right)}-\frac{x+7}{x^{2}-x-42}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{x+1}{x^{2}-6x-7}.
\frac{1}{x-7}-\frac{x+7}{x^{2}-x-42}
Cancel out x+1 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{1}{x-7}-\frac{x+7}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)}
Factor x^{2}-x-42.
\frac{x+6}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)}-\frac{x+7}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x-7 and \left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right) is \left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right). Multiply \frac{1}{x-7} times \frac{x+6}{x+6}.
\frac{x+6-\left(x+7\right)}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)}
Since \frac{x+6}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)} and \frac{x+7}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x+6-x-7}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)}
Do the multiplications in x+6-\left(x+7\right).
\frac{-1}{\left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right)}
Combine like terms in x+6-x-7.
\frac{-1}{x^{2}-x-42}
Expand \left(x-7\right)\left(x+6\right).
