The answer depend upon what was intended by the given expression (see below).

Explanation:

Interpretation 1
Given
#color(white)("XXX")(3x)/x * (x^2-49)#

We note that the expression is not defined for #x=0#
otherwise the expression is equivalent to #3(x^2-49)# and is defined for all Real values of #x#
i.e. the Domain is #RR-{0}#

Interpretation 2
Given
#color(white)("XXX")(3x)/(x(x^2-49))#
Again we note that the expression is undefined if #x=0#
but we additionally note that it is also undefined if #x^2-49=0#, that is if #x=+-7#

The Domain in this case would be #RR-{-7,0,+7}#
