\frac{5\left(y-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(y-1\right)}-\frac{5\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(y-1\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x-1 and y-1 is \left(x-1\right)\left(y-1\right). Multiply \frac{5}{x-1} times \frac{y-1}{y-1}. Multiply \frac{5}{y-1} times \frac{x-1}{x-1}.
\frac{5\left(y-1\right)-5\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(y-1\right)}
Since \frac{5\left(y-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(y-1\right)} and \frac{5\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(y-1\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
