Solve for X:
31x=9
To solve the equation 31x=9, we need to isolate the variable x. To accomplish this, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3, the reciprocal of 31.
Step-by-step solution:
- Step 1: Multiply both sides by 3.
(3×31)x=3×9
- Step 2: Simplify the left side.
This gives us 1x=27, since (3×31)=1.
- Step 3: Conclude that x=27.
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x=27. This matches choice number 1 from the provided options.
