-\frac{x}{2x+2}-\frac{x+1}{5\left(x+1\right)}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{x+1}{5x+5}.
-\frac{x}{2x+2}-\frac{1}{5}
Cancel out x+1 in both numerator and denominator.
-\frac{x}{2\left(x+1\right)}-\frac{1}{5}
Factor 2x+2.
-\frac{5x}{10\left(x+1\right)}-\frac{2\left(x+1\right)}{10\left(x+1\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 2\left(x+1\right) and 5 is 10\left(x+1\right). Multiply -\frac{x}{2\left(x+1\right)} times \frac{5}{5}. Multiply \frac{1}{5} times \frac{2\left(x+1\right)}{2\left(x+1\right)}.
\frac{-5x-2\left(x+1\right)}{10\left(x+1\right)}
Since -\frac{5x}{10\left(x+1\right)} and \frac{2\left(x+1\right)}{10\left(x+1\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{-5x-2x-2}{10\left(x+1\right)}
Do the multiplications in -5x-2\left(x+1\right).
\frac{-7x-2}{10\left(x+1\right)}
Combine like terms in -5x-2x-2.
\frac{-7x-2}{10x+10}
Expand 10\left(x+1\right).
-\frac{x}{2x+2}-\frac{x+1}{5\left(x+1\right)}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{x+1}{5x+5}.
-\frac{x}{2x+2}-\frac{1}{5}
Cancel out x+1 in both numerator and denominator.
-\frac{x}{2\left(x+1\right)}-\frac{1}{5}
Factor 2x+2.

Combine like terms in -5x-2x-2.
\frac{-7x-2}{10x+10}
Expand 10\left(x+1\right).
