So I believe this is your question?

- (3)/(7) xy(-5 x^(3) y^(2) )
Correct?

In solving this problem, just distribute each number or letter over to what's inside the parentheses. Multiply you numbers together first:
(3)/(7) *-35=3*-5=-15 (If you don't know how I did that step just let me know and I can explain that for you.)

Next multiply your x's together:
x* x^(3) = x^(4)

Finally multiply your y's together:
y* y^(2) = y^(3)

Now just put all of them together like this:

-15x^4y^3
This should be your final answer.
