Identify Common Denominator: Identify the common denominator for the two fractions. To subtract the fractions, we need a common denominator. The common denominator will be the product of the two distinct denominators (x-6) and (x+5). Common Denominator: (x-6)(x+5)Rewrite with Common Denominator: Rewrite each fraction with the common denominator. We need to adjust each fraction so that they both have the common denominator. For the first fraction, (5)/(x-6), we multiply the numerator and denominator by (x+5). For the second fraction, (1)/(x+5), we multiply the numerator and denominator by (x-6). Adjusted Fractions: (5(x+5))/((x-6)(x+5)) - (1(x-6))/((x-6)(x+5))Expand Numerators: Expand the numerators of the adjusted fractions. Now we expand the numerators of both fractions. First Fraction: 5(x+5) = 5x + 25 Second Fraction: 1(x-6) = x - 6 Expanded Numerators: (5x + 25) - (x - 6)Combine Numerators: Combine the numerators over the common denominator. Now we combine the expanded numerators over the common denominator. Combined Fraction: ((5x + 25) - (x - 6))/((x-6)(x+5))Simplify Numerator: Simplify the numerator. We need to subtract the second numerator from the first. Simplified Numerator: (5x + 25) - (x - 6) = 5x + 25 - x + 6 Simplified Numerator: 4x + 31Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression. The final simplified expression is the simplified numerator over the common denominator. Final Expression: (4x + 31)/((x-6)(x+5))
