\frac{4x}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)}+\frac{x}{x+5}
Factor x^{2}-25.
\frac{4x}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)}+\frac{x\left(x-5\right)}{\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 \left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right) and x+5 is \left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right). Multiply \frac{x}{x+5} times \frac{x-5}{x-5}.
\frac{4x+x\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Since \frac{4x}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)} and \frac{x\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{4x+x^{2}-5x}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Do the multiplications in 4x+x\left(x-5\right).
\frac{-x+x^{2}}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Combine like terms in 4x+x^{2}-5x.
\frac{-x+x^{2}}{x^{2}-25}
Expand \left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right).
