Question

Maya has read two less than four times

Answer 1

Answer:

2(2n - 1)  

Step-by-step explanation:

         Let x = the number of books Theo has read

   Then 4x = four times the number of books Theo has read.

And 4n - 2 = 2 less than four times the number of books Theo has read

 But 4n -2 = the number of books Maya has read

Factor the expression

4n - 2 = 2(2n - 1)

The factored expression is 2(2n - 1).
