First, let's simplify each fraction individually:
(7x - x^2)/(x + 4) = -x(x - 7)/(x + 4)
(x^2 - x - 20)/(7 - x) = (x - 5)(x + 4)/(7 - x)
Now, we can multiply the two simplified fractions together:
(-x(x - 7)/(x + 4)) * ((x - 5)(x + 4)/(7 - x))
= [-x(x - 7)(x - 5)(x + 4)] / [(x + 4)(7 - x)]
Now, we can simplify further by canceling out common factors:
= [-x(x - 7)(x - 5)] / (7 - x)
So, the final simplified expression is:
(-x^3 + 12x^2 - 35x) / (7 - x)
