\frac{x-5}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)}-\frac{x+5}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+5 and x-5 is \left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right). Multiply \frac{1}{x+5} times \frac{x-5}{x-5}. Multiply \frac{1}{x-5} times \frac{x+5}{x+5}.
\frac{x-5-\left(x+5\right)}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Since \frac{x-5}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)} and \frac{x+5}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x-5-x-5}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Do the multiplications in x-5-\left(x+5\right).
\frac{-10}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Combine like terms in x-5-x-5.
\frac{-10}{x^{2}-25}
Expand \left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right).
