To solve the equation \( ax + 3 = 33 \), first, we'll isolate \( ax \).
-
Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ ax = 33 - 3 \] \[ ax = 30 \]
-
Now, to solve for \( x \), divide both sides by \( a \): \[ x = \frac{30}{a} \]
So, the solution for \( x \) is: \[ x = \frac{30}{a} \]
(Note: \( a \) cannot be zero, as division by zero is undefined.)
