We have  inverse proportion

 Inverse proportion occurs when one value increases and the other decreases.

More workers on a job would reduce the time to complete the task. They are inversely proportional.

2w ----------------------- 7h

3w ----------------------- xh
___________________
(+)                               (-)  ⇒ 2\3 = x\7 ⇒ x = 2·7/3=14/3 =12/3+2/3 =

= 4h + (2·60/3) min = 4h +40min

Solve the equation: Sin2x - Sinx = 0
Viktor [21]
We know that sin2x=2sinxcosx 
(search the net for proof if you wish) 

So the original equation becomes

2sinxcosx-sinx=0
The two terms both have sinx that can be taken out to get: 

sinx(2cosx-1)=0 
This is true if sinx=0 or 2cosx-1=0 , rewritten: cosx=1/2

sinx=0 than x=2kπ
cosx=1/2 than x=π/3+2kπ
where k is an integer
