Answer 2

To factor, you do the opposite of what you would in distributive property. You have to find the greatest common factor, or GCF, of 4 and -2.

  4                   2

------              -------

1  |  4              1 | 2

2 |  2

So the GCF is 2. Now we factor the expression.

4x-2

2(2x-1)
