Answer 1

Answer: C/ three times a number x fewer than seven.

Explanation:

3x - 7 is basically (3 x number) minus seven and by looking at the answer choices C is correct because it says 3 times a number (x) then fewer seven which means minus seven. It wouldn't be B because it is not 3-7 and then multiply, that would give a totally different answer.
