Answer

$\boxed{\text{The solution set is Ø.}}$

Steps

Step 1 ：Distribute the multiplication across the parentheses: $8x - 32 - 4 = 2x + 6x - 30$

Step 2 ：Simplify the equation by combining like terms: $8x - 36 = 8x - 30$

Step 3 ：Subtract 8x from both sides of the equation: $-36 = -30$

Step 4 ：Since -36 does not equal -30, there are no solutions to this equation.

Step 5 ：$\boxed{\text{The solution set is Ø.}}$
