\huge\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{16a^2 - 4b}


\mathsf{= 16((1)/(4))^2 - 4(6)}


\mathsf{= 16((1)/(4) * (1)/(4)) - 4(6)}


\mathsf{= 16* (1(1))/(4(4)) - 4(6)}


\mathsf{= 16((1)/(16)) - 4(6)}


\mathsf{= (16)/(1)((1)/(16)) - 4(6)}


\mathsf{= (16(1))/(1(16)) - 4(6)}


\mathsf{= (16)/(1) - (4(6))/(1)}


\mathsf{= 1 - 4(6)}


\mathsf{= 1 - 24}


\mathsf{= -23}



\huge\text{Therefore, your answer should be: }


\huge\boxed{\mathsf{-23}}\huge\checkmark
