Factor by removing the common factor with the lesser exponent

2x(x-5)^-3 -4x^2(x-5)^-4
I don't really know how to do this.
The final answer I got is:
2x(2x^2-10x+1)
--------------
(x-5)^4

2x(x-5)^-3(1-2x(x-5)^-1) =
2x/(x-5)^3 * (1-2x/(x-5)) =
2x/(x-5)^3 * ((x-5)/(x-5)-2x/(x-5) =
2x/(x-5)^3 * (-x-5)/(x-5) =
2x(-x-5))/(x-5)^4).
