Step-by-step solution

We begin by breaking down the 14 into a subtraction exercise:

(151)×3= (15-1)\times3=

Next we multiply each of the numbers inside of the parentheses by 3:

(15×3)(1×3)= (15\times3)-(1\times3)=

We can already discard option A and option D since the solution must contain 15x3.

Lastly we solve the parenthesis on the right side of the equation and obtain the following:

15×33 15\times3-3

Therefore, the answer is C.
