\frac{aa}{a}-\frac{a^{2}+5}{a}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply a times \frac{a}{a}.
\frac{aa-\left(a^{2}+5\right)}{a}
Since \frac{aa}{a} and \frac{a^{2}+5}{a} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{a^{2}-a^{2}-5}{a}
Do the multiplications in aa-\left(a^{2}+5\right).
\frac{-5}{a}
Combine like terms in a^{2}-a^{2}-5.
