\frac{5}{m-1}-\frac{5}{3}
Cancel out m in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{5\times 3}{3\left(m-1\right)}-\frac{5\left(m-1\right)}{3\left(m-1\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of m-1 and 3 is 3\left(m-1\right). Multiply \frac{5}{m-1} times \frac{3}{3}. Multiply \frac{5}{3} times \frac{m-1}{m-1}.
\frac{5\times 3-5\left(m-1\right)}{3\left(m-1\right)}
Since \frac{5\times 3}{3\left(m-1\right)} and \frac{5\left(m-1\right)}{3\left(m-1\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{15-5m+5}{3\left(m-1\right)}
Do the multiplications in 5\times 3-5\left(m-1\right).
\frac{20-5m}{3\left(m-1\right)}
Combine like terms in 15-5m+5.
\frac{20-5m}{3m-3}
Expand 3\left(m-1\right).
