Solve multi-step linear equations

4(3x+2) =32

To solve this equation, first distribute the 4 on the left side of the equation:

4(3x+2) = 32
12x + 8 = 32

Now, subtract 8 from both sides to isolate the variable term:

12x = 24

Finally, divide both sides by 12 to solve for x:

x = 2

Therefore, the solution to the equation 4(3x+2) = 32 is x = 2.
