Answer:

-5(g -3h +5)

Explanation:

You want the factored form of -5g +15h -25.

Negative factor

The coefficient of g inside parentheses is 1, so the coefficient of g in the given expression (-5) must be the factor outside parentheses. You can divide the expression by this value to find the desired numbers:


-5g+15h-25=-5\left((-5g+15h-25)/(-5)\right)=-5\left((-5)/(-5)g+(15)/(-5)h+(-25)/(-5)\right)\\\\=\boxed{-5(g-3h+5)}
