To find the answer to this question, we need to set up a simple inequality. Let's use n to represent the number we're looking for, and, since the number is less than 32, we'll use the < symbol.

n - 5 < 32   A number decreased by 5 is less than 32
n < 37   Add 5 to both sides

Therefore, the number is less than 37. It could be 36 or lower.

Hope this helps!
