Let +x+ = Rajesh's present age.
+x+%2B+32+ = Rajesh's age in 32 years
+x+-+8+ = Rajesh's age 8 years ago
---------------------------------
+x+%2B+32+=+5%2A%28+x+-+8+%29+
+x+%2B+32+=+5x+-+40+
+4x+=+72+
+x+=+18+
Rajesh's present age is 18
------------
check:
+x+%2B+32+=+5%2A%28+x+-+8+%29+
+18+%2B+32+=+5%2A%28+18+-+8+%29+
+50+=+5%2A10+
+50+=+50+
OK
