Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to use the distributive property to take out the common factor. But that doesn't tell you what the common factor is.
Look inside the brackets. You need to find something that is exactly the same on either side of the minus sign. In this case you have a huge cle about what it is.
2x^5 is it not? I'm assuming that's the correct way to read it.
So that's the answer to your question 2x^5.
The distributive property will tell you that 2x^5 can be taken out, and what is left is
2x^5 ( x^3 - 4)
