Responses

x=110
x equals 110

x=8
x equals 8

x=−8
x equals negative 8

x=22

Answer 1

To solve the equation $114x+9=31$, follow these steps:

1. Subtract 9 from both sides:
   $114x+9-9=31-9$
   $114x=22$

2. Divide by 114 to isolate x:
   $x=\frac{22}{114}$
   $x=\frac{1}{5.18}$ (approximately)
   (You can also simplify: $x=\frac{1}{5.18}\approx 0.193$)

If we assume you meant to have $114x+9=31$, we missed the equation $114x=31-9$ would simplify to $22$ which gives:

3. Final computation:
   $x\approx 0.193$

Since the confusion is recurred, I suggest double-checking the formulation of the equation to confirm.

None of your chosen responses accurately reflect the answer to ( 114x + 9 = 31 .).

The correct possibility is neither of the options given: no exact "x" value.
