Question

ax + 3 = 33
.

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( ax + 3 = 33 \), we first isolate \( ax \) by subtracting 3 from both sides:

\[ ax = 33 - 3 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ ax = 30 \]

Next, we solve for \( x \) by dividing both sides by \( a \):

\[ x = \frac{30}{a} \]

So the solution for \( x \) in terms of \( a \) is:

\[ x = \frac{30}{a} \]

Note that this solution is valid as long as \( a \neq 0 \). If \( a = 0 \), the equation does not have a solution for \( x \).
