Solve 5x + 3 = 33

The solution of 5x + 3 = 33 is x = 6.

The lines y = 5x + 3 and y = 33 meet at x = 624681012102030405060x = 6y = 5x + 3y = 33
The lines y = 5x + 3 and y = 33 meet at x = 6. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    5x+3=335x + 3 = 33
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    5x+3−3=33−3 ⇒ 5x=305x + 3 - 3 = 33 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 30
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=305 ⇒ x=6\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{30}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 6
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 6 back into the equation.
