a number when multiplied by 5 exceeds itself by 32.
Interpret that this way:

When you multiply this number by 5 you get another number which is this number
plus 32.
Then say it this way:

This number multiplied by 5 equals this number plus 32.
Then call this number "x"

x multiplied by 5 equals x plus 32.
Then you have

5x = x+32

Can you solve that equation? Bet you can!
