To determine which expression has a negative value, let’s evaluate each one.

1. −5 · 5 · −5 = (−5 * 5) * (−5) = -25 * -5 = 125 (positive)
2. −5 · −5 · 5 = (−5 * −5) * 5 = 25 * 5 = 125 (positive)
3. −5 · −5 · −5 = (−5 * −5) * (−5) = 25 * -5 = -125 (negative)
4. −5 · 5 · −5 = (−5 * 5) * (−5) = -25 * -5 = 125 (positive)

The expression with a negative value is −5 · −5 · −5, which equals -125.
