Answer:

2(2n - 1)  

Step-by-step explanation:

         Let x = the number of books Theo has read

   Then 4x = four times the number of books Theo has read.

And 4n - 2 = 2 less than four times the number of books Theo has read

 But 4n -2 = the number of books Maya has read

Factor the expression

4n - 2 = 2(2n - 1)

The factored expression is 2(2n - 1).

We will see that the factored expression is a inequality, it is:

x < 4T - 2

How to get the factored expression?

We know that Maya has read two less than four times the number of books that Theo has read.

If Theo has read T books, then we know that:

x < 4*T - 2

There says "x is smaller than 4 times T - 2", where x would represent the number of books that Maya has read. This inequality is the expression that we wanted.
