Numerator Simplification in Complex Rational Expressions

A systems analyst is auditing a calculation used in a resource allocation model. The model involves the complex rational expression n4nn+51n+5+1n5\frac{n-\frac{4n}{n+5}}{\frac{1}{n+5}+\frac{1}{n-5}}. To simplify this using the 'writing as division' method, the analyst must first rewrite the numerator as a single fraction. According to the standard procedure for this specific expression, what is the simplified form of the numerator n4nn+5n - \frac{4n}{n+5}?
