(x)/(x^(2)+9x+20)-(4)/(x^(2)+7x+12)
-----------------------
x/[(x+4)(x+5)] - 4/[(x+3)(x+4)]
-----------------------
least common denominator: (x+4)(x+3)(x+5)
-----------------------
Rewrite each fraction with the lcm as its denominator:
[x(x+3) - 4(x+5)]/lcm
------
[x^2+3x-4x-20]/lcm
-------
= (x^2-x-20)/ lcm
------------
= [(x-5)(x+4)] / [(x+3)(x+4)(x+5)]
