Answer:

C. 8

Explanation:

To answer you must first solve the inequality, do this by dividing both sides by 3.
(3x)/(3) > (21)/(3), which simplifies to x > 7. This means that x must be greater than 7 without being 7 because the inequality does not use the "or equal to" sign. Therefore, 8 must be the correct answer because it is the smallest whole number that is larger than 7.
