We know, the formula to find the nth term of A.P.,

an=a+(n-1)d

Where, an is the nth terma is the first term of the A.P., n is the total number of terms and d is the common difference.

Now, first let's find a18, in which n=18,

a18=a+(18-1)d

a18=a+17d             [equation I]

Now, first let's find a14, in which n=14,

a14=a+(14-1)d

a14=a+13d            [equation II]

Now, it is given that,

a18-a14=32

a+17d-a+13d=32

a+17d-a-13d=32

4d=32

d=324

d=8
