Solve by completing the square

32 =172627 + 12 3xxx - 10 therefore it is B

First, transpose the constants to the right side just like an ordinary equation, but leave the inequality sign as it is. That becomes

x - 72 > -96
x > -96 + 72
x > -24

Thus, just check among the choices which are greater than -24. The answers would be D and E.
