Question

pLEASE HELP factoring problem
4x-2(x-7)^2

Answer 1

■ My interpretation of the problem:
Factor, \(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle 4x-2(x-7)^2 }\)

■ You will need a couple rules to do this problem:
\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2 }\)
\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle a(b+c+k)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c+a\cdot k=ab+ac+ak }\)

Answer 2

And then, after applying these two rules to your problem (that is - after expanding), you need to add like terms...

Answer 3

do you still not get it?
