Simplify:

Simplify the numerator first:
You get this by putting the fractions over a common denominator, then subtracting. The common denominator is b. The second fraction is already over b so don't change it.
To get the first fraction over b you multiply the 5 by to get . Now you have both parts over the common denominator of b and you can subtract.

So now you have:

Remember, to divide two fractions, you copy the first, flip the sign from divide to multiply, and flip (invert) the second fraction. So it now becomes:
Cancel the b's
...and this is as far as you can go!
