2x +7 over x+4 minus x+3 over x+4

Since these two weird fractions have the same denominator, we can go ahead and just subtract the numberators:
(2x+7)/(x+4) - (x+3)/(x+4) =
We'll just be looking at the numberator below, then put the denominator back in:
(2x + 7) - (x + 3)
2x + 7 - x - 3 (distributed the "-" to the (x + 3))
x + 4 (combined like terms)

So your fraction becomes (x + 4)/(x + 4)
Anything divided by itself is equal to 1, so your fraction simplifies to 1.
