Question

solve for x.
\\(\frac{x + 31}{9} = 3\\)
simplify your answer as much as possible.
\\(x = \square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by 9

$\frac{x+31}{9} \times 9 = 3 \times 9$
$x + 31 = 27$

Step2: Subtract 31 from both sides

$x + 31 - 31 = 27 - 31$
$x = -4$

Answer:

$x = -4$
