Solve a x + 3 = 33.

x = __

5 answers

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

\[ ax = 33 - 3 \] \[ ax = 30 \]

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

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

So, \( x = \frac{30}{a} \).

are you sure this is correct

Yes, the solution is correct given the equation \( ax + 3 = 33 \) and assuming \( a \neq 0 \).

Here’s the step-by-step breakdown again:

  1. Start with the original equation: \[ ax + 3 = 33 \]

  2. Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ ax = 33 - 3 \] \[ ax = 30 \]

  3. Divide both sides by \( a \) (provided \( a \neq 0 \)): \[ x = \frac{30}{a} \]

So, the final solution is: \[ x = \frac{30}{a} \]

If there's a specific value for \( a \) that you have in mind, please provide it, and I can calculate \( x \) accordingly.

not correct

I apologize for any confusion. Let's clarify the problem step by step again.

You presented the equation:

\[ a x + 3 = 33 \]

If you want to solve for \( x \), you need to know the value of \( a \). However, let's rearrange the equation in general terms.

  1. Start with the original equation: \[ ax + 3 = 33 \]

  2. Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ ax = 33 - 3 \] \[ ax = 30 \]

  3. Now, if we want to isolate \( x \), we divide both sides by \( a \) (assuming \( a \neq 0 \)): \[ x = \frac{30}{a} \]

To get a specific numeric value for \( x\), you would need to provide a specific value for \( a\). Alternatively, if you're looking for a different value of \( x\) without needing to consider \( a\), that might involve additional context or information.

Please clarify if I misunderstood the equation or if there's a specific value for \( a \) that I should use to calculate \( x \). Thank you!
