Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that both terms, 4x and -16, have something in common.
In math, this "something" is known as the greatest common factor (g.c.f.).
The g.c.f. of 4x and -16 is 4, so that's what we factor out.
First, we divide both 4x and -16 by 4.
We obtain.
x-4
Put parentheses around x-4
(x-4)
Now put 4 outside the parentheses
4(x-4)
