Answer:

Hey there!

We can let x be that number.

2x+9=31

2x=22

x=11

The number is 11.

Answer:

The whole number is 11.

Explanation:

Let's call the whole number x. We can write the following equation:

2x + 9 = 31

Subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation gives us:

2x + 9 - 9 = 31 - 9

2x = 22

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2 gives us:

2x / 2 = 22 / 2

x = 11
