\[\frac{ x }{ x-7 }-\frac{ 2x-8 }{ (x-7)^2 }\]

I'll get you started \[\large \frac{ x }{ x-7 }-\frac{ 2x-8 }{ (x-7)^2 }\] \[\large \frac{ x(x-7) }{ (x-7)(x-7) }-\frac{ 2x-8 }{ (x-7)^2 }\] \[\large \frac{ x^2-7x }{ (x-7)^2 }-\frac{ 2x-8 }{ (x-7)^2 }\] \[\large \frac{ x^2-7x -( 2x-8) }{ (x-7)^2 }\] I'll let you finish up

is it \[\frac{ x^2-9x-8 }{ (x-7)^2 }\]

you distributed wrong and you should have gotten x^2-7x -2x+8 now combine like terms
