Answer: (-∞, 3.5)

Explanation:

Here we can use the relation:

Exp( Log(X)) = X

Now, we start with the equation:

log(x + 7) > log(3x)

Now we can apply the exponential function to both sides of the inequality to get:

Exp(log(x + 7)) > Exp(log(3x))

x + 7 > 3x

7 > 3x - x

7 > 2x

7/2 > x

3.5 > x

Then the solutions will be all the values of x smaller than 3.5, this set can be written as:

(-∞, 3.5)
