OP, do you not see the common factors here?

If you had 4a - 3xa, you would factorise it by taking out the a as it is repeated in both terms:
a(4-3x)

a very similar thing can be done with your question

so 4-2x factorised to 2(2-x)

Not the point.

4(x+y)−2x(x+y)4(x+y)-2x(x+y)

Can (x+y) be factored out??
