Answer 1

Let's solve the equation \( 15 \times 34 - 31 = -6 \) step by step.

1. Calculate \( 15 \times 34 \): \[ 15 \times 34 = 510 \]

2. Now subtract 31 from 510: \[ 510 - 31 = 479 \]

3. We need to check if \( 479 = -6 \) is true, which it is not.

Since the original equation does not balance, it seems there might be an issue or misunderstanding in the equation setup or interpretation.

However, let's take another look at the responses you've provided. If you are asking which answer satisfies an operation that follows from the equation, we cannot solve the equation as it stands since it's inconsistent. The possible answers (25, 625, 5, 125) don't relate to the solution of the equation.

If you can clarify further or provide more context, I could assist better in addressing your question.
