\frac{5}{x+6}-\frac{4x-31}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)}
Factor x^{2}+x-30.
\frac{5\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)}-\frac{4x-31}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+6 and \left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right) is \left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right). Multiply \frac{5}{x+6} times \frac{x-5}{x-5}.
\frac{5\left(x-5\right)-\left(4x-31\right)}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)}
Since \frac{5\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)} and \frac{4x-31}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{5x-25-4x+31}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)}
Do the multiplications in 5\left(x-5\right)-\left(4x-31\right).
\frac{x+6}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)}
Combine like terms in 5x-25-4x+31.
\frac{1}{x-5}
Cancel out x+6 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{5}{x+6}-\frac{4x-31}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)}
Factor x^{2}+x-30.
\frac{5\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)}-\frac{4x-31}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+6 and \left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right) is \left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right). Multiply \frac{5}{x+6} times \frac{x-5}{x-5}.
\frac{5\left(x-5\right)-\left(4x-31\right)}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)}
Since \frac{5\left(x-5\right)}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)} and \frac{4x-31}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
