The given expression is

(2x - 16)/(2x + 8)

The first step is to find te common factor of the numerator and denominator. The common factor is 2. Therefore, we would factorize the numerator and denominator. It becomes

2(x - 8)/2(x + 4)

The 2 cancels out. The simplified expression becomes

(x - 8)/(x + 4)
