Question

7 times what equals 31

Answer 1

Lets say the number we are solving for is a

$\sf{ 7 \times a = 31}$

Divide 7 on both sides

$\sf{ \frac{7 \times a}{7} = \frac{31}{7}}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\huge{\sf{a = \frac{31}{7}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}$

Answer 2

7 (x) = 31

Divide both sides by 7.

7x/7 = 31/7

x = 31/7

Therefore, 7 * 31/7 = 31
