SO many different possible answers.
1. x - 7 - 3 = 31 x=41
2. x - 73 = 31 x =104
3. 7331 --> cross off a 7 and 3 (rearrange digits for more solutions)
Good luck, not really sure what the question is asking.

Taken away means to subtract from...so you need to do the opposite and that means that 31 + 7 + 3 = the number you want, which is 41.

I don't like Math Homework either. It can be frustrating at times. 7 and 3 equals 10. 31 plus 10 equals 41. I hope that helped. Good luck.

Simple Algebra question:
X = 31 + 7 + 3 :::: X = 31 + 10 :::: X = 41

Step 1: Express as an equation.
x - 7 - 3 = 31
Step 2: Isolate x.
x - 7 - 3 + 10 = 31 + 10
x = 41

X = unknown
31 = answer
X minus 7 and 3 is X-10
X-10 = 31
Add 10 to both sides and you get X = 41.
