Answer

\[x=6\]

Work Step by Step

Consider the equation\[4x+9=33\]. Subtract 33 from both the sides \[4x+9-33=33-33\] This gives \[4x-24=0\] Add 24 on both the sides \[4x=24\] Divide both the sides by 4 \[x=6\] Now, to check it, put \[x=6\]in the equation \[\begin{align} & 4\left( 6 \right)+9=33 \\ & 33=33 \\ \end{align}\] which is true. Hence, the solution of the given equation is \[x=6\].
