We want to know which situation can be represented by the expression:
[tex]3x-25>2x+7[/tex]
For the sake of the exercise, we will say that x is "a number". Thus,
[tex]3x-25\text{ represents "Three times a number decreased by 25"}[/tex]
as we substracted 25. Now, as this expression is greater than the second one, and as:
[tex]2x+7\text{ represents "twice the number increased by 7"}[/tex]
We have that the situation can be represented as three times a number decreased by 25 is greater than twice the number increased by 7.
