Use parentheses to differentiate parts of your fraction.
I think you mean like this??
5%2B4%2F%285-z%29%2B%28z%2B4%29%2F%28z-5%29=5-4%2F%28z-5%29%2B%28z%2B4%29%2F%28z-5%29
Use the common denominator z-5,

5%2B4%2F%285-z%29%2B%28z%2B4%29%2F%28z-5%29=%285%28z-5%29-4%2B%28z%2B4%29%29%2F%28z-5%29
5%2B4%2F%285-z%29%2B%28z%2B4%29%2F%28z-5%29=%285z-25-4%2Bz%2B4%29%2F%28z-5%29
5%2B4%2F%285-z%29%2B%28z%2B4%29%2F%28z-5%29=%286z-25%29%2F%28z-5%29
