We can factorise the expression by making groups of 2:

#(mz-5mh^2)-(5nz-25nh^2)#

#m# is factor common to both the terms in the first group, and #5n# is common to both the terms in the second group

# = m(z - 5h^2) - 5n(z - 5h^2)#

#z - 5h^2# is common to both the terms in the expression

# = color(green)( (z - 5h^2)(m-5n)#
