Supply Chain Ratio Simplification

A logistics coordinator is simplifying a complex ratio for supply chain efficiency represented by bโˆ’3bb+52b+5+1bโˆ’5\frac{b-\frac{3b}{b+5}}{\frac{2}{b+5}+\frac{1}{b-5}}. After rewriting the numerator and denominator as single fractions, they rewrite the entire complex fraction using a division symbol: b2+2bb+5รท3bโˆ’5(b+5)(bโˆ’5)\frac{b^2+2b}{b+5} \div \frac{3b-5}{(b+5)(b-5)}. According to the standard procedure for simplifying complex rational expressions, what specific operation must the coordinator perform next, and what is the resulting mathematical expression before any factoring or cancellation?
