Answer: I think the greatest common factor is 4x^2

Explanation:

Find the numerical common factors. Which are 8, -12, and 20. Find the variable common factors for x^4, x^3, and x^2. Multiply them together. Then break down the factors on both sides and pick the biggest one. Finally multiply them together. (I’m sorry, I’m very bad at explaining things.)
