Fill in the Blank

A data analyst is troubleshooting a legacy software algorithm that calculates warehouse efficiency using the complex fraction bβˆ’3bb+52b+5+1bβˆ’5\frac{b-\frac{3b}{b+5}}{\frac{2}{b+5}+\frac{1}{b-5}}. To simplify this expression by writing it as division, the main fraction bar is replaced with a division symbol, yielding b2+2bb+5Γ·3bβˆ’5(b+5)(bβˆ’5)\frac{b^2+2b}{b+5} \div \frac{3b-5}{(b+5)(b-5)}. In the next step, the division is changed to multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the second fraction. This results in the multiplication expression \frac{b^2+2b}{b+5} \cdot \frac{(b+5)(b-5)}{____}.
