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