David and Brenda are playing Scrabble. Brenda is ahead by 22 points when she makes a 15-point play. David responds with a 32-point play. By how many points is Brenda now ahead? Give me reasons, before answering the question

Brenda is 22 + 15 = 37 points ahead after her play. Then she is 37 - 32 = 5 points ahead. So the final answer is 5.
