Answer

$\dfrac{3x^2-7x-4}{(3x-4)(9x^2+12x+16)}$

Work Step by Step

Factoring the given expression, $ \dfrac{x}{9x^2+12x+16}-\dfrac{3x+4}{27x^3-64} ,$ results to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{x}{9x^2+12x+16}-\dfrac{3x+4}{(3x-4)(9x^2+12x+16)} .\end{array} Using the $LCD= (3x-4)(9x^2+12x+16) $, the expression above simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{(3x-4)(x)-1(3x+4)}{(3x-4)(9x^2+12x+16)} \\\\= \dfrac{3x^2-4x-3x-4}{(3x-4)(9x^2+12x+16)} \\\\= \dfrac{3x^2-7x-4}{(3x-4)(9x^2+12x+16)} .\end{array}
