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.
