    Call y the average speed from the library to the gym

    Call x the average speed from the house to the library.

    "Her average speed from the library to the gym was 15 miles per hour less than her average speed from her house to the library" = > y = x - 15

    So, x - 15 represents Joyces's average speed from her house to the libray to the gym.
