[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation, -4(x-8)=32 for x, you can begin by distributing -4 to the terms inside the parenthesis:

-4 * x + (-4 * -8) = 32

This simplifies to:

-4x + 32 = 32

Next, you can subtract 32 from both sides of the equation:

-4x + 32 - 32 = 32 - 32

-4x + 0 = 0

This simplifies to:

-4x = 0

Finally, you can divide both sides of the equation by -4 to solve for x:

(-4x)/-4 = 0/-4

x = 0

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 0.
