We have a number x.
A number minus 37, times (-47) is equal to 32 less than the number.
The number x minus 37 is (x-37). If we multiply it by (-47) we get -47(x-37).
This is equal to 32 less than x, that is x-32.
Then, we can write:
[tex]-47(x-37)=x-32[/tex]We can find the number x as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -47x-37=x-32 \\ -37+32=x+47x \\ -5=48x \\ x=-\frac{5}{48} \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: the number is -5/48.
