Explanation:

Step1: Identify the common factor

The common factor in the expression \(3a(s - 2t)+5b(s - 2t)+4(s - 2t)\) is \((s - 2t)\).

Step2: Factor out the common factor

Using the distributive property \(ac+bc+dc=(a + b + c)c\) (here \(c=(s - 2t)\), \(a = 3a\), \(b = 5b\), \(d = 4\)), we get \((3a + 5b+4)(s - 2t)\)

Answer:

\((3a + 5b + 4)(s-2t)\)
