To simplify the expression \( 4(g - 2) + (g + 2) \), we will use the distributive property and then combine like terms.

1. **Distribute** \( 4 \) in the first term:
\[
4(g - 2) = 4g - 8
\]

2. **Rewrite the expression** with the distributed term:
\[
4(g - 2) + (g + 2) = (4g - 8) + (g + 2)
\]

3. **Combine like terms**:
- Combine \( 4g \) and \( g \):
\[
4g + g = 5g
\]
- Combine the constants \( -8 \) and \( 2 \):
\[
-8 + 2 = -6
\]

4. **Write the final expression**:
\[
5g - 6
\]

So, the simplified form of \( 4(g - 2) + (g + 2) \) is \( 5g - 6 \).
