To solve the equation \( 31 - 9x = 4 \):
-
Subtract 31 from both sides: \[ -9x = 4 - 31 \] \[ -9x = -27 \]
-
Divide by -9: \[ x = \frac{-27}{-9} \] \[ x = 3 \]
Since the solution \( x = 3 \) is derived from the equation, we express the solution set in set notation.
The correct notation for the solution set to this equation is:
\({3}\) (which is the set containing the single element 3).
Thus, the correct response is: {3}
