Answer:

The running club has 35 members

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the total members of the running club

we know that

The total members of the running club multiplied by 5/7 plus 6 must be equal to 31 people

so

$\frac{5}{7}x+6=31$

Solve for x

$\frac{5}{7}x=31-6$

$\frac{5}{7}x=25$

$x=25(7)/5$

$x=35\ members$

therefore

The running club has 35 members
