Hope it helps....!!!!

______________

Let the number be x.

The number is greater than 17 by x – 17.

The number is less than 47 by 47 – x.

∴ x –17 = 47 – x

⇒ x + x  = 47 + 17  (Transposing x to LHS  and 17 to RHS )

=>2x=64

=> x=64/2=32-------(dividing both sides by 2)

Thus, the required number is 32.
