Hey there!

For equations like this I usually find the GCF or Factors of the given numbers for both of numbers and factor/solve it from there!

So, I’ll do the same thing for you.


\bf{4x: 1,2,4,\& \ x}\\ \bf{16: 1,2,4,8}}

GCF:
\bf{4}


\boxed{\bf{Answer: 4(x - 4)}}\checkmark (Just distribute and it’ll convert back to the equation in your question

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your da!
