\frac{\left(x+3\right)\left(x+5\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)}-\frac{\left(x-2\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x-4 and x+5 is \left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right). Multiply \frac{x+3}{x-4} times \frac{x+5}{x+5}. Multiply \frac{x-2}{x+5} times \frac{x-4}{x-4}.
\frac{\left(x+3\right)\left(x+5\right)-\left(x-2\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Since \frac{\left(x+3\right)\left(x+5\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)} and \frac{\left(x-2\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x^{2}+5x+3x+15-x^{2}+4x+2x-8}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Do the multiplications in \left(x+3\right)\left(x+5\right)-\left(x-2\right)\left(x-4\right).
\frac{14x+7}{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Combine like terms in x^{2}+5x+3x+15-x^{2}+4x+2x-8.
\frac{14x+7}{x^{2}+x-20}
Expand \left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right).
