Answer:

The value of x that makes the equation true is 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:
\text{33x = 11}

The value of x that will make the equation true will be a value when substituted will give same value on the right and left side of the equation.

To get x, we will divide both sides by the coefficient of x. The coefficient of x is 33. So we will divide both sides by 33:


\begin{gathered} (33x)/(33)\text{ = }(11)/(33) \\ x\text{ =}(11)/(33) \\ x\text{ = }(1)/(3) \end{gathered}

To determine if the value of x we got is right, we will substitute in the equation given:


\begin{gathered} 33x\text{ = 11} \\ 33((1)/(3))\text{ = 11} \\ 11\text{ = 11} \\ left\text{ hand side = right hand side} \\ \\ Hence,\text{ the value of x that makes the equation true is }(1)/(3) \end{gathered}
