\frac{\left(x-y\right)\left(x-4\right)}{5x\left(x-4\right)}-\frac{12x}{5x\left(x-4\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 5x and 5\left(x-4\right) is 5x\left(x-4\right). Multiply \frac{x-y}{5x} times \frac{x-4}{x-4}. Multiply \frac{12}{5\left(x-4\right)} times \frac{x}{x}.
\frac{\left(x-y\right)\left(x-4\right)-12x}{5x\left(x-4\right)}
Since \frac{\left(x-y\right)\left(x-4\right)}{5x\left(x-4\right)} and \frac{12x}{5x\left(x-4\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
