\frac{x^{2}}{x\left(x+1\right)}-\frac{5}{x^{2}-3x}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{x^{2}}{x^{2}+x}.
\frac{x}{x+1}-\frac{5}{x^{2}-3x}
Cancel out x in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{x}{x+1}-\frac{5}{x\left(x-3\right)}
Factor x^{2}-3x.
\frac{xx\left(x-3\right)}{x\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right)}-\frac{5\left(x+1\right)}{x\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x+1 and x\left(x-3\right) is x\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right). Multiply \frac{x}{x+1} times \frac{x\left(x-3\right)}{x\left(x-3\right)}. Multiply \frac{5}{x\left(x-3\right)} times \frac{x+1}{x+1}.
\frac{xx\left(x-3\right)-5\left(x+1\right)}{x\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right)}
Since \frac{xx\left(x-3\right)}{x\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right)} and \frac{5\left(x+1\right)}{x\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x^{3}-3x^{2}-5x-5}{x\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right)}
Do the multiplications in xx\left(x-3\right)-5\left(x+1\right).
\frac{x^{3}-3x^{2}-5x-5}{x^{3}-2x^{2}-3x}
Expand x\left(x-3\right)\left(x+1\right).
