Rewrite the number $125$ as a power with base $5$ so that we have exponentials with the same base on both sides of the equation
If the bases are the same, then the exponents must be equal to each other
Divide both sides of the equation by $-3$
Simplify the fraction $\frac{3}{-3}$
Divide $1$ by $-1$
