To solve the equation \( ax + 3 = 33 \), we can follow these steps:
-
Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ ax = 33 - 3 \] \[ ax = 30 \]
-
To isolate \( x \), divide both sides by \( a \) (assuming \( a \neq 0 \)): \[ x = \frac{30}{a} \]
So, the solution is: \[ x = \frac{30}{a} \] where \( a \) is not equal to zero.
