Answer:
sorry but my handwritting is not so good
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two terms in this expression: 12x2 and (-16x).
First find the GCF to factor it out [note: that is, if the GCM is a factor of both terms, then it is a factor of the entire expression].
The terms are:
12x2 = 2*2*3*x*x
-16x = (-1)*2*2*2*2*x
The GCF (Greatest Common Factor) is 2*2*x, so the expression becomes:
4x(3x - 4)
Often, this expression may be further factored (that is, into the product of simpler factors), but this one can not.
hope it will be helpful to you
