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