Identify common factor: Identify the common factor in both terms.The common factor in both terms is (4x−3)4 since it is present in both terms of the expression.
Factor out: Factor out the common factor from the expression.We can factor (4x−3)4 out of both terms to get (4x−3)4(2+(4x−3)).
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses.Simplifying the expression inside the parentheses gives us (4x−3)4(2+4x−3).
Combine like terms: Combine like terms inside the parentheses.Combining like terms 2 and −3 gives us (4x−3)4(4x−1).
Write final form: Write down the final factored form.The completely factored form of the expression is (4x−3)4(4x−1).
