We want to know which situation can be represented by the expression:


3x-25>2x+7

For the sake of the exercise, we will say that x is "a number". Thus,


3x-25\text{ represents

as we substracted 25. Now, as this expression is greater than the second one, and as:


2x+7\text{ represents

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.
