Answer: 8 (2y-1)

Step-by-step explanation: first start by writing like this below:

16y-8

Then factorise the numbers(cut the numbers)

2×2×2×2×y - 2×2×2

Now take all which is common like:

2×2×2=8

Then,take the remained numbers and add it into the brackets.

8 (2y - 1) Here, why we should put 1,because there's nothing left.

If you want to check the answer, factorise this expression and see:

8 (2y-1)

16y-8.

Hope it helps you!!
