You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The way you spaced your parts of the expression:
3/n-7 - 5/n+1
suggests you are given 3/(n-7)-5/(n+1) or as rendered should appear more like 3%2F%28n-7%29-5%2F%28n%2B1%29.

Common Denominator will be %28n-7%29%28n%2B1%29.



%283n-3-%285n-35%29%29%2F%28n%5E2-6n-7%29
