PLEASE HELP!!! MEDAL!! Subtract the rational expression::

OpenStudy (clamin):

|dw:1421975754648:dw|

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{slate}{ \displaystyle \frac{7x+4}{x^2+3x+2}~-~\frac{3x-2}{x^2+3x+2} }\) the fractions already have the common denominator, all you need is to literally add them (without implying any thing besides "addition")

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I mean not to add, but to subtract. (Well, add a negative)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

You know that: \(\large\color{slate}{ \displaystyle \frac{A}{B}~-~\frac{C}{B} =\frac{A-C}{B} }\) So, \(\large\color{slate}{ \displaystyle \frac{7x+4}{x^2+3x+2}~-~\frac{3x-2}{x^2+3x+2} ~=~?}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

k, just show me what you are getting, to verify. (please :) )
