Answer
$\displaystyle \frac{x+5}{x-5} $
Work Step by Step
Simplifying Rational Expressions
1. Factor the numerator and the denominator completely.
2. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by any common factors.
---
Numerator: fully factored
Denominator: recognize a difference of squares
$x^{2}-5^{2}=(x+5)(x-5)$
Expression = $\displaystyle \frac{(x+5)^{2}}{(x+5)(x-5)}$
... divide both with the common factor: $(x+5)$
Expression = $\displaystyle \frac{x+5}{x-5} $
