x^{2}+4x+4=32+\left(x-2\right)^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+2\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+4x+4=32+x^{2}-4x+4
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x-2\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+4x+4=36+x^{2}-4x
Add 32 and 4 to get 36.
x^{2}+4x+4-x^{2}=36-4x
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
4x+4=36-4x
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
4x+4+4x=36
Add 4x to both sides.
8x+4=36
Combine 4x and 4x to get 8x.
8x=36-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
8x=32
Subtract 4 from 36 to get 32.
x=\frac{32}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=4
Divide 32 by 8 to get 4.
