To solve the equation \( 4x - 4 = -32 \), follow these steps:
1. **Add 4 to both sides** to eliminate the -4:
\[
4x - 4 + 4 = -32 + 4
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
4x = -28
\]
2. **Divide both sides by 4** to solve for \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{-28}{4}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x = -7
\]
Thus, the solution is:
\[
\boxed{-7}
\]
