5+5/x-1 / 5/x-1; this is an order of operations problem. Let's use parentheses to keep track.
5 + (5/x) - (1 / 5) /x - 1
= 5 + 5/x - 1/5x - 1
= 4 + 5/x - 1/5x
= 4 + 25/5x - 1/5x
= 4 + 24/5x

Emma, check out the Wyzant Resource “Math: you need parentheses”. You need to state the problem more accurately.02/04/20
