\frac{1}{5\left(x-2\right)}-\frac{1}{2\left(x-2\right)}
Factor 5x-10. Factor 2x-4.
\frac{2}{10\left(x-2\right)}-\frac{5}{10\left(x-2\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 5\left(x-2\right) and 2\left(x-2\right) is 10\left(x-2\right). Multiply \frac{1}{5\left(x-2\right)} times \frac{2}{2}. Multiply \frac{1}{2\left(x-2\right)} times \frac{5}{5}.
\frac{-3}{10\left(x-2\right)}
Since \frac{2}{10\left(x-2\right)} and \frac{5}{10\left(x-2\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators. Subtract 5 from 2 to get -3.
\frac{-3}{10x-20}
Expand 10\left(x-2\right).
