Answer

$16x^2-\dfrac{4}{9}$

Work Step by Step

Using $(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2$ or the product of the sum and difference of like terms, the given expression, $ \left(4x-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)\left(4x+\dfrac{2}{3}\right) ,$ is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} (4x)^2-\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^2 \\\\= 16x^2-\dfrac{4}{9} .\end{array}
