It's only a binomial so you just take out the greatest common factor which is 5ma so...

=5ma(x^2+4)

Ok, so you have 5max^2 + 20ma

When you are factoring polynomials, you are trying to find common factors of each term. The 5, m, and a are common in both terms. Therefore, bring those out:

5ma (x^2 + 4)

If you check this answer, you will find that it is:
5max^2 + 20ma Hope this helps.

5max^2 + 2ma = ma(5x^2 + 2)
