I'm assuming that you want to factor.

Take note that the GCF of 16x and 8 is 8. So simply factor out the GCF to get 8%282x-1%29


So 16x-8 factors to 8%282x-1%29


In other words, 16x-8=8%282x-1%29

16x-8=
a. 8x
b. 8(2x-x)
c. 8(2x-1)
d. 8(2x-8)
-----------
it's not a
--------
b. 8(2x-x) = 8*x = 8x
It's not b
-----------
c. 8(2x-1) = 16x - 8
It's c.
