ANSWER
\(\frac{1}{8} x - \frac{49}{8} = \frac{1}{8} (x - 49)\)
EXPLANATION
We want to factor
\(\frac{1}{8}\)
out of
\(\frac{1}{8} x - \frac{49}{8}\)
We need to rewrite the above expression to obtain,
\(\frac{1}{8} x - \frac{49}{8} = \frac{1}{8} x - \frac{1}{8} \times 49\)
We can see clearly now that there is a factor of
\(\frac{1}{8}\)
common to both terms.
We take this factor out to obtain,
\(\frac{1}{8} x - \frac{49}{8} = \frac{1}{8} (x - 49)\)
