To solve the equation \( 4(3x + 2) = 32 \), follow these steps:
1. Distribute the 4 on the left side:
\[
4 \cdot 3x + 4 \cdot 2 = 32 \\
12x + 8 = 32
\]
2. Subtract 8 from both sides:
\[
12x + 8 - 8 = 32 - 8 \\
12x = 24
\]
3. Divide both sides by 12:
\[
x = \frac{24}{12} \\
x = 2
\]
Thus, the solution is:
\[
\boxed{2}
\]
