\frac{2x}{x\left(x+5\right)}-\frac{x-4}{x+4}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{2x}{x^{2}+5x}.
\frac{2}{x+5}-\frac{x-4}{x+4}
Cancel out x in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{2\left(x+4\right)}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}-\frac{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\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+5 and x+4 is \left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right). Multiply \frac{2}{x+5} times \frac{x+4}{x+4}. Multiply \frac{x-4}{x+4} times \frac{x+5}{x+5}.
\frac{2\left(x+4\right)-\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Since \frac{2\left(x+4\right)}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)} and \frac{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{2x+8-x^{2}-5x+4x+20}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Do the multiplications in 2\left(x+4\right)-\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right).
\frac{x+28-x^{2}}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Combine like terms in 2x+8-x^{2}-5x+4x+20.
\frac{x+28-x^{2}}{x^{2}+9x+20}
Expand \left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right).
\frac{2x}{x\left(x+5\right)}-\frac{x-4}{x+4}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{2x}{x^{2}+5x}.
\frac{2}{x+5}-\frac{x-4}{x+4}
Cancel out x in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{2\left(x+4\right)}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}-\frac{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\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+5 and x+4 is \left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right). Multiply \frac{2}{x+5} times \frac{x+4}{x+4}. Multiply \frac{x-4}{x+4} times \frac{x+5}{x+5}.
\frac{2\left(x+4\right)-\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Since \frac{2\left(x+4\right)}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)} and \frac{\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{2x+8-x^{2}-5x+4x+20}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Do the multiplications in 2\left(x+4\right)-\left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right).
\frac{x+28-x^{2}}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}
Combine like terms in 2x+8-x^{2}-5x+4x+20.
\frac{x+28-x^{2}}{x^{2}+9x+20}
Expand \left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right).
