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.
