Solve for x . 11/4 x+9=31 Responses x=22 x is equal to 22 - incorrect x=8 x is equal to 8 - not selected, this is the correct answer x=−8 x is equal to negative 8 - no response given x=110
To solve for x, we can start by isolating the variable on one side of the equation.
We have: (11/4)x + 9 = 31
Subtract 9 from both sides to get: (11/4)x = 31 - 9
Simplifying, we have: (11/4)x = 22
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of (11/4), which is 4/11.
(4/11)(11/4)x = (4/11)(22)
The left side simplifies to: x = 8
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 8.
