ANSWER your answer is (8) (9) (9) (5) these numbers are a total of 31 8+9+9+5=31 so if u did 1+1+1+1+5+8 it would =17 now if u did 5+8+9+8+1 would also make 31 and 5+9+9+8 would also make 31 but the question says "circle 6 numbers for a total of 31 " and nun of those have 6 numbers to make 31 5+9+8=22 so 22+1+1+1+1+8=34 let just take 3 of those 1's out and put it all together it is 31 but it only haves 5 numbers and we need 6 so it kinda makes no sence to me but i do have a strong feeling it is (8) (9) (9) (5)
