x=

Answer 1

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: \[ \boxed{2} \]
