Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 31 x - 6 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 31 x = 0 + 6

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 31 x = 6

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

31 x = - 6

Divide both sides

\frac{31 x}{31} = \frac{- 6}{31}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 6}{31}

Solution

x = - \frac{6}{31}
