1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to factor the expression 16b+5a204ba16b + 5a - 20 - 4ba.

2. Solution Steps

We can rearrange the terms to group terms with common factors:
16b+5a204ba=16b4ba+5a2016b + 5a - 20 - 4ba = 16b - 4ba + 5a - 20
Now, we can factor by grouping. From the first two terms, we can factor out 4b4b:
4b(4a)+5a204b(4 - a) + 5a - 20
From the last two terms, we can factor out 55:
4b(4a)+5(a4)4b(4 - a) + 5(a - 4)
We notice that (a4)(a - 4) is the negative of (4a)(4 - a), so we can rewrite it as (4a)-(4 - a):
4b(4a)5(4a)4b(4 - a) - 5(4 - a)
Now we can factor out the common factor (4a)(4 - a):
(4b5)(4a)(4b - 5)(4 - a)

3. Final Answer

(4b5)(4a)(4b - 5)(4 - a)
