Question

9x -5=31 what's the answer

Answer 1

First isolate your X by adding the 5 to both sides of the equation

9x -5 + 5=31 + 5

So now the equation is

9x=36

Then you want to get the X completely alone by dividing 9 from both sides

9x/9=36/9

And your answer is

x=4

Answer 2

x = 4

Explanation:

9x -5=31

Add 5 to each side

9x-5+5 = 31+5

9x = 36

Divide by 9

9x/9 = 36/9

x = 4
