3f+3=t
s=2f
21=f+s+t

21=f+(2f)+(3f+3)
21=6f+3
18=6f

3=first
6=second
12=third

1 + 5sin^2x= 7sin^2x solve trig equation. Can you show me how to solve this trig equation?

Answer: $x = \frac{\pi}{4}\pm k\frac{\pi}{2}\,\,\,\,\,\,k=\{0,1,2,...\}$

Step by step:

$1 + 5\sin^2x= 7\sin^2x\\\sin^2 x\rightarrow z\\1 + 5z = 7z\\2z = 1\\z = \frac{1}{2}\implies \sin^2 x = \frac{1}{2}\\|\sin x| = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\\\sin x = \pm\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\implies x = \frac{\pi}{4}\pm k\frac{\pi}{2}\,\,\,\,\,\,k=\{0,1,2,...\}$
