To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 4(3x + 2) = 32 \), follow these steps:

  1. Start by simplifying the equation: \[ 4(3x + 2) = 32 \]

  2. Divide both sides of the equation by 4: \[ 3x + 2 = \frac{32}{4} \] \[ 3x + 2 = 8 \]

  3. Next, subtract 2 from both sides: \[ 3x = 8 - 2 \] \[ 3x = 6 \]

  4. Finally, divide both sides by 3: \[ x = \frac{6}{3} \] \[ x = 2 \]

The solution is: \[ \boxed{2} \]
