A number decreased by 5 is less than 32
No. A number DECREASED by 5 IS 32. That means you ADD 5. So the correct answer is 37.
I believe they want you to write an equation..."a number" = x"decreased by 5" = -5"is less than 32" = <32x - 5 < 32That is the equation.If you solve it...x < 32+ 5x < 37x can be any number less than 37 to keep the equation true.
