Hey there!
For equations like this I usually find the GCF or Factors of the given numbers for both of numbers and factor/solve it from there!
So, I’ll do the same thing for you.
[tex]\bf{4x: 1,2,4,\& \ x}\\ \bf{16: 1,2,4,8}}[/tex]
GCF: [tex]\bf{4}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\bf{Answer: 4(x - 4)}}\checkmark[/tex] (Just distribute and it’ll convert back to the equation in your question
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your da!
