Answer:

7

Explanation:

three more than 4 times the number is 31, so we need to complete the opposite:

The opposite of more (+) is less (-)...

We need to subract 3 from the total, which gives us 28

And then we need to do the oppostie of 4 times the result which is divided by 4, and we have 28 so we need to do...

28/4 / = divided = 7

(31-3)/4=7

Hope that helps and good luck :)
