Choose the inequality that models the situation. Seven less than three times a number n is greater than 15.
		
3n - 7 > 15
		
3n > 15 - 7
		
7 - 3n < 15
		
7 - 3n > 15

I think what we are supposed to do here is simply to change words into "math"

so let's let "a number" be represented by the letter "x"
then "three times" that number would be  3*x  or just 3x

"seven less than" that stuff would become    3x - 7

do you follow? :)
