To solve the equation \( 31 - 9x = 4 \), let's isolate \( x \).
-
Subtract 31 from both sides: \[ -9x = 4 - 31 \] \[ -9x = -27 \]
-
Divide by -9: \[ x = \frac{-27}{-9} \] \[ x = 3 \]
The solution is \( x = 3 \).
The correct set notation to express the solution set is: \[ {3} \]
So the correct response is {3}.
