3 θ = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, 3 θ = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

3 θ = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, 3 θ = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Solve

3 θ = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn : θ = \frac{π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

3 θ = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

3 θ = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

\frac{3 θ}{3} = \frac{\frac{π}{3}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Simplify

\frac{3 θ}{3} = \frac{\frac{π}{3}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Simplify

\frac{3 θ}{3} : θ

\frac{3 θ}{3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{3}{3} = 1

= θ

Simplify

\frac{\frac{π}{3}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3} : \frac{π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{π}{3}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{π}{3}}{3} = \frac{π}{9}

\frac{\frac{π}{3}}{3}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{π}{3 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 3 = 9

= \frac{π}{9}

= \frac{π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

θ = \frac{π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

θ = \frac{π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

θ = \frac{π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Solve

3 θ = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn : θ = \frac{5 π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

3 θ = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

3 θ = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

\frac{3 θ}{3} = \frac{\frac{5 π}{3}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Simplify

\frac{3 θ}{3} = \frac{\frac{5 π}{3}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Simplify

\frac{3 θ}{3} : θ

\frac{3 θ}{3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{3}{3} = 1

= θ

Simplify

\frac{\frac{5 π}{3}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3} : \frac{5 π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{5 π}{3}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{5 π}{3}}{3} = \frac{5 π}{9}

\frac{\frac{5 π}{3}}{3}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{5 π}{3 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 3 = 9

= \frac{5 π}{9}

= \frac{5 π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

θ = \frac{5 π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

θ = \frac{5 π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

θ = \frac{5 π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

θ = \frac{π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}, θ = \frac{5 π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}
