If u = x^2+4x+7, du = 2x+4
so, 5x+3 = 5/2 (2x+4) - 7
That gives you
∫ (5/2) du/u - 7∫1/(x^2+4x+7) dx
Now, x^2+4x+7 = (x+2)^2 + 3
So now let v = x+2, and dv = dx, and you have
∫ (5/2) du/u - 7∫1/(v^2+3) dv
Both of those are standard forms, so just crank them out.

Do you bring out - 7∫1/(x^2+4x+7) dx , because you have a common denominator? It would be like saying -7∫1/u right?
no common denominator
they are separate integrals, using separate substitutions. When trying to get du/d, there was a 7 left over.
