To solve the equation \( 114x + 9 = 31 \), we first isolate \( x \).
-
Start by subtracting 9 from both sides: \[ 114x = 31 - 9 \] \[ 114x = 22 \]
-
Next, divide both sides by 114: \[ x = \frac{22}{114} \]
-
Simplifying \( \frac{22}{114} \): \[ \frac{22 \div 2}{114 \div 2} = \frac{11}{57} \]
Since \( \frac{11}{57} \) is not one of the given options, it looks like there's a mistake in the original equation provided (it should be \( 31 \) as not having a term).
If we reconsider the original problem, \( 114x + 9 = 31 \):
- Rearranging gives: \[ 114x = 22 \]
So with all calculations, we have \( x = \frac{11}{57} \) concluded.
None of the options: 110, -8, 22, or 8 matches.
Please confirm the statement of the problem for more accurate elements but under current iterations: None of the options are correct.
