Since 24 and 16 have a greatest common factor of 8 , you can factor 8 from both terms of this expression to create an equivalent expression. This would be:
8(3x + 2)
There are other answers too:
You could also factor 4 from both terms as well: 4(6x + 4)
You could even factor 2 from both terms: 2(12x + 8)
