\frac{5\left(x-2\right)}{10}-\frac{2\left(x+1\right)}{10}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 2 and 5 is 10. Multiply \frac{x-2}{2} times \frac{5}{5}. Multiply \frac{x+1}{5} times \frac{2}{2}.
\frac{5\left(x-2\right)-2\left(x+1\right)}{10}
Since \frac{5\left(x-2\right)}{10} and \frac{2\left(x+1\right)}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{5x-10-2x-2}{10}
Do the multiplications in 5\left(x-2\right)-2\left(x+1\right).
\frac{3x-12}{10}
Combine like terms in 5x-10-2x-2.
