The domain is x in (-oo, -3)uu (-3, +oo).
The range is y in (-oo, 0) uu (0, +oo)

Explanation:

Let y=(7)/(x+3)

The denominator is !=0

Therefore,

x+3!=0

x!=-3

The domain is x in (-oo, -3)uu (-3, +oo)

Also,

y(x+3)=7

yx+3y=7

yx=4-3y

x=(4-3y)/(y)

The denominator is !=0

Therefore

y!=0

The range is y in (-oo, 0) uu (0, +oo)

graph{(y-((7)/(x+3)))(y-0)=0 [-36.53, 36.52, -18.28, 18.27]}
