Answer:

4 (c - 6)

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

6 c - 2 c - 16 - 8

Hint: | Group like terms in 6 c - 2 c - 16 - 8.

Grouping like terms, 6 c - 2 c - 16 - 8 = (6 c - 2 c) + (-8 - 16):

(6 c - 2 c) + (-8 - 16)

Hint: | Combine like terms in 6 c - 2 c.

6 c - 2 c = 4 c:

4 c + (-8 - 16)

Hint: | Evaluate -8 - 16.

-8 - 16 = -24:

4 c + -24

Hint: | Factor out the greatest common divisor of the coefficients of 4 c - 24.

Factor 4 out of 4 c - 24:

Answer: 4 (c - 6)
