Start off by combining like terms on the LHS (the terms with x in them).

So we get \frac{-1}{3}x+2x= \frac{-1}{3}x+ \frac{6}{3}x= \frac{-5}{3}x

Replacing this result with what we had before on the LHS, we get \frac{-5}{3}x=3 \frac{3}{4}= \frac{9}{4}

⇒Solve for x (divide both sides \frac{-5}{3})
⇒Don't forget about reciprocity rules when dividing.  This is the same as multiplying both sides by \frac{3}{-5}

⇒x= \frac{9}{4}( \frac{3}{-5})

⇒x= -\frac{27}{20}=-1\frac{7}{20} ***This is a proper fraction

Add -1/3x and 2x and you get 5/3. Then your equation is 5/3 = 3 3/4. Turn 3 3/4 into a fraction and you get 15/4. Multiply both sides by 3/5 and you have x = 9/4

So the variable represents 9/4

2sin^2 2x=2<br><br> In the domain [0, 2pi)
djverab [1.8K]
Please type this as 2(sin 2x)^2=2      <span>2sin^2 2x=2 is confusing.

Reducing this expression:  (sin 2x)^2 = 1

Taking the sqrt of both sides, sin 2x = plus or minus 1

If sin 2x = 1, then 2x must be pi/2 or 3pi/2, and so x must be pi/4 or 3pi/4.

Now you do this for sin 2x = -1.</span>
