For this case we have the following expression:
[tex]- \frac {1} {3} x-8[/tex]
We take common factor [tex]- \frac {1} {3}[/tex], for this we must take into account that:
[tex]- * + = -\\\frac {24} {3} = 8[/tex]
So, factoring the expression we have:
[tex]- \frac {1} {3} (x + 24)[/tex]
ANswer:
The factored expression is:
[tex]- \frac {1} {3} (x + 24)[/tex]
