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

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.
