Answer:

46/3 or 15.3

Explanation:

After rounding to the nearest integer, we have:

3(x - 7) = 25.

Dividing both sides by 3, to isolate (x - 7), we get x - 7 = 25/3.

Adding 7 to both sides, we get x = 25/3 + 7, or x = 25/3 + 21/3, or x = 46/3. This is 15 1/3, which is closest to the last given possible answer (15.3).
