In my own understanding, I would say b

Answer:

C. [tex]x^2 - 3x -21 > 15x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the unknown number,

So, the square of the number = [tex]x^2[/tex]

Three times of the sum of number and 7 = 3(x+7),

Also, the product of the number and 15x,

Thus, The difference of the square of a number and three times the sum of the number and 7 is more than the product of that number and 15.

⇒ [tex]x^2-3(x+7) > 15x[/tex]  ( sign '>' is used for more than )

⇒ [tex]x^2-3x-21 > 15x[/tex]   ( Apply distributive property on left side )

Hence, option 'C' is correct.
