= \frac{5 π}{6 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

6 \cdot 2 = 12

= \frac{5 π}{12}

\frac{2 πn}{2} = πn

\frac{2 πn}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= πn

= \frac{5 π}{12} + πn

x = \frac{5 π}{12} + πn

x = \frac{5 π}{12} + πn

x = \frac{5 π}{12} + πn

Solve

2 x = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn : x = \frac{7 π}{12} + πn

2 x = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 x = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by
