|4r + 8| ≥ 32

Split this expression into two expressions:

First ⇒ 4r + 8 ≥ 32 and second ⇒ 4r + 8 ≤ - 32

---

First expression: 4r + 8 ≥ 32

Subtract 8 from both sides.

4r ≥ 24

Divide both sides by 4.

r ≥ 6

---

Second expression: 4r + 8 ≤ - 32

Subtract 8 from both sides.

4r ≤ -40

Divide both sides by 4.

r ≤ -10

---

Your answer is
\boxed {r \geq 6~or~ r \leq -10}
