Answer: x = 2

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation, we start by distributing the 4 through the parentheses on the left side.

So we have 4(x) which is 4x and 4(6) which is 24.

So our equation now reads 4x + 24 = 32.

Solving from here, we subtract 24 from both sides to get 4x = 8.

Then divide both sides by 4 to get x = 2.
