Answer:

x = 5 [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

So, to answer this problem, I'll use the reverse method.

31 - 4 = 27,

So how many times, can 5 go into 27?

The closest factor of 5 to 27 is 25.

5 can go in to 27,  5 times.

Continuing on, there is a 2 left over, so the answer to your question is

x = 5 [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

5 · 5 [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] - 4 = 31

Let me know if I am incorrect and I will attempt to find the right answer for you.
