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" = <32

x - 5 < 32

That is the equation.

If you solve it...

x < 32+ 5
x < 37

x can be any number less than 37 to keep the equation true.

Starting at home, Ishaan traveled uphill to the gift store for 18 minutes at just 10 mph. He then traveled back home along the s

kvv77 [185]

The formula to find speed:

$speed = distance \div time$

We first need to find the distance to gift store:
18/60 × 10
=3miles

We can then find the time he used down hill:
3÷30×60
=0.1×60
=6 minutes

In total he walked:
3x2
=6miles

We can then find his average speed by dividing the distance by total time used:
=6÷(6+18)/60
=6÷24/60
=15mph

The answer is 15mph.

Hope it helps!
