Answer

$\dfrac{x(x-2)}{2(x+2)}$

Work Step by Step

The expression $ \dfrac{\dfrac{5x}{x+2}}{\dfrac{10}{x-2}} $ simplifies to \begin{array}{l} \dfrac{5x}{x+2}\div\dfrac{10}{x-2} \\\\= \dfrac{5x}{x+2}\cdot\dfrac{x-2}{10} \\\\= \dfrac{5\cdot x(x-2)}{5\cdot2(x+2)} \\\\= \dfrac{x(x-2)}{2(x+2)} .\end{array}
