To subtract the two fractions $$ \frac{2x}{2x-5} - \frac{5}{2x-5} $$, we can combine them since they have a common denominator.

The expression can be rewritten as:

$$
\frac{2x - 5}{2x - 5}
$$

Now, we simplify the numerator:

$$
2x - 5
$$

Thus, the expression becomes:

$$
\frac{2x - 5}{2x - 5}
$$

Since the numerator and denominator are the same (and assuming $$ 2x - 5 \neq 0 $$), we can simplify this to:

$$
1
$$

Therefore, the final answer is:

$$
\boxed{1}
$$
The expression simplifies to 1.
