One crate has \(45\,\text{kg}\) more apples than a second crate. Then \(28\,\text{kg}\) of apples are removed from the first crate, and an unknown mass is removed from the second crate. Afterward, the first crate still has \(32\,\text{kg}\) more apples than the second crate. How many kilograms of apples were removed from the second crate?
