It looks almost completely simplified already. I might factor something out.

Notice how you can rewrite this as:

${(2 w - 4)}^{2}$ $(2w - 4)^2$

$= {(2 (w - 2))}^{2}$ $= (2(w - 2))^2$

As a result, you can write:

$= 2^{2} {(w - 2)}^{2}$ $= 2^2(w - 2)^2$

$= 4 {(w - 2)}^{2}$ $= color(blue)(4(w - 2)^2)$

How do you simplify (2w-4)^2(2w−4)2(2w-4)^2?
