If your math problem is actually ( (1 / (x+7)) - (1 / x) ) / 7 then the answer is as follows:
split the problem: 1/7 (1 / (x+7) - 1 / x )
1/7 (x / (x(x+7)) -(x+7) / (x(x+7)) )
1/7 ( (x-(x+7)) / (x^2 +7x) )
1/7 ( -7 / (x^2 + 7x) )
Multiple/combine the problem (the sevens cancel out)
-1/(x^2+7x) is the simplified form of the equation. If there is an "=" somewhere, this is where you would solve for X by multiplying x over and then making one side equal to zero and then doing the quadratic equation.

First u need to make both sides have the same "characters" so multiply the first part with "x" and the second part with "x+7". So at this point, both parts will have " (x^2)+7x" under them. Remember to also multiply the top parts accordingly. u should have "x-x-7" which is "-7". Put tht together u have -7/7((x^2)+7x)=1/(x^2+7x)
