\frac{7a}{35\left(a-1\right)}-\frac{5a}{35\left(a-1\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 5\left(a-1\right) and 7\left(a-1\right) is 35\left(a-1\right). Multiply \frac{a}{5\left(a-1\right)} times \frac{7}{7}. Multiply \frac{a}{7\left(a-1\right)} times \frac{5}{5}.
\frac{7a-5a}{35\left(a-1\right)}
Since \frac{7a}{35\left(a-1\right)} and \frac{5a}{35\left(a-1\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{2a}{35\left(a-1\right)}
Combine like terms in 7a-5a.
\frac{2a}{35a-35}
Expand 35\left(a-1\right).
