5gh(7g-3h)

Explanation:

You look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two terms.
If we break this down, we can see that
- 5 is the GCF of 35 and 15.
- g is the GCF of g^2 and g.
- h is the GCF of h and h^2.

This means that the GCF of the overall expression is 5gh, so you can factor it out.
You get:
5gh(7g-3h)
