\frac{θ}{2} - \frac{π}{6} = \frac{π}{4} + πn

\frac{θ}{2} - \frac{π}{6} = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Solve

\frac{θ}{2} - \frac{π}{6} = \frac{π}{4} + πn : θ = 2 πn + \frac{5 π}{6}

\frac{θ}{2} - \frac{π}{6} = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Move

\frac{π}{6}

to the right side

\frac{θ}{2} - \frac{π}{6} = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Add

\frac{π}{6}

to both sides

\frac{θ}{2} - \frac{π}{6} + \frac{π}{6} = \frac{π}{4} + πn + \frac{π}{6}

Simplify

\frac{θ}{2} - \frac{π}{6} + \frac{π}{6} = \frac{π}{4} + πn + \frac{π}{6}

Simplify

\frac{θ}{2} - \frac{π}{6} + \frac{π}{6} : \frac{θ}{2}

\frac{θ}{2} - \frac{π}{6} + \frac{π}{6}

Add similar elements:

- \frac{π}{6} + \frac{π}{6} = 0

= \frac{θ}{2}

Simplify

\frac{π}{4} + πn + \frac{π}{6} : πn + \frac{5 π}{12}

\frac{π}{4} + πn + \frac{π}{6}

For

\frac{π}{4} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

3

\frac{π}{4} = \frac{π 3}{4 \cdot 3} = \frac{π 3}{12}

For

\frac{π}{6} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

2

\frac{π}{6} = \frac{π 2}{6 \cdot 2} = \frac{π 2}{12}

= \frac{π 3}{12} + \frac{π 2}{12}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{π 3 + π 2}{12}

Add similar elements:

3 π + 2 π = 5 π

= πn + \frac{5 π}{12}

\frac{θ}{2} = πn + \frac{5 π}{12}

\frac{θ}{2} = πn + \frac{5 π}{12}

\frac{θ}{2} = πn + \frac{5 π}{12}

Multiply both sides by

2

\frac{θ}{2} = πn + \frac{5 π}{12}

Multiply both sides by

Simplify

2 πn + 2 \cdot \frac{5 π}{12} : 2 πn + \frac{5 π}{6}

2 πn + 2 \cdot \frac{5 π}{12}

2 \cdot \frac{5 π}{12} = \frac{5 π}{6}

2 \cdot \frac{5 π}{12}

Multiply fractions:

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

Multiply the numbers:

5 \cdot 2 = 10

= \frac{10 π}{12}

Cancel the common factor:

= \frac{5 π}{6}

= 2 πn + \frac{5 π}{6}

θ = 2 πn + \frac{5 π}{6}

θ = 2 πn + \frac{5 π}{6}

θ = 2 πn + \frac{5 π}{6}

θ = 2 πn + \frac{5 π}{6}
