My brother needs help with an algebra question that's troubling him. Can someone solve 5/x squared minus one) - 3/x-1 please with working?

Thank you in advance.

That ain't even a proper question. No wonder it's troubling him.

So: five divided by x squared minus one (the first fraction) and three divided by x minus one (the second fraction) with a minus in between the two fractions isn't doable by factorising?

it's not equal to anything.... so you can't "solve"
