\frac{5}{c\left(c+4\right)}-\frac{5}{c}
Factor c^{2}+4c.
\frac{5}{c\left(c+4\right)}-\frac{5\left(c+4\right)}{c\left(c+4\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of c\left(c+4\right) and c is c\left(c+4\right). Multiply \frac{5}{c} times \frac{c+4}{c+4}.
\frac{5-5\left(c+4\right)}{c\left(c+4\right)}
Since \frac{5}{c\left(c+4\right)} and \frac{5\left(c+4\right)}{c\left(c+4\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{5-5c-20}{c\left(c+4\right)}
Do the multiplications in 5-5\left(c+4\right).
\frac{-15-5c}{c\left(c+4\right)}
Combine like terms in 5-5c-20.
\frac{-15-5c}{c^{2}+4c}
Expand c\left(c+4\right).
