Step-by-step explanation:

The word decreased indicates the use of subtraction, so to figure out our answer we do the opposite, -1 + 24 = 23, after that we then subtract, 23 - 24 = -1, there for your answer should be 23 - 24 = -1, or more simply the number that has to be decreased to make the statement true is 23
