Answer:-10/13

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4 = (2/5)x + 2

First move the 4 to the other side by subtracting it.

it becomes : 3x = (2/5)x - 2

then multiply everything by 5 to get rid of the fraction.

it becomes 15x = 2x -10

then move the 2x to the other side by subtracting it.

you get 13x = -10

now you can divide everything by 13 to isolate the x.

and you get x = -10/13

$4\sin^2 x - 3 = 3 \sin x\\\\\implies 4\sin^2 x -3 \sin x -3 =0\\\\\implies 4u^2 -3u -3 =0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;[\text{Set} ~ \sin x = u]\\\\\implies u = \dfrac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4\cdot 4 \cdot (-3)}}{2(4)}~~~~~~;[\text{Apply quadratic formula}]\\\\\\\implies u = \dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{57}}8\\\\\implies \sin x = \dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{57}}8~~~~~~;[\text{Substitute back}~ u = \sin x]\\\\\text{Now,}\\\\\sin x = \dfrac{3+\sqrt{57}}8\\\\\text{No solution for}~ x\in \mathbb{R} ~\text{Since}~ -1\leq \sin x \leq 1\\$

$\sin x = \dfrac{3 - \sqrt{57}}8\\\\\implies x = n\pi + (-1)^n \sin^{-1} \left(\dfrac{3-\sqrt{57}}8\right)\\\\\\\text{ When n = 1,2 and}~ [0,2\pi]},\\\\\\x= \pi - \sin^{-1} \left(\dfrac{3-\sqrt{57}}8 \right)~ \text{and} ~x = 2\pi + \sin^{-1} \left(\dfrac{3-\sqrt{57}}8 \right)\\\\\text{In decimal,}\\\\x= 3.75~~~~ \text{and}~~~ x =5.68$
