3 x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, 3 x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

Solve

3 x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn : x = \frac{2 πn}{3} - \frac{π}{36}

3 x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn

Move

\frac{π}{4}

to the right side

3 x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn

Subtract

\frac{π}{4}

from both sides

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

3 x + \frac{π}{4} - \frac{π}{4} : 3 x

3 x + \frac{π}{4} - \frac{π}{4}

Add similar elements:

3

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

= \frac{π 2}{12} - \frac{π 3}{12}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{π 2 - π 3}{12}

Add similar elements:

2 π - 3 π = - π

= \frac{- π}{12}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= 2 πn - \frac{π}{12}

3 x = 2 πn - \frac{π}{12}

3 x = 2 πn - \frac{π}{12}

3 x = 2 πn - \frac{π}{12}

Divide both sides by

3

3 x = 2 πn - \frac{π}{12}

Divide both sides by

\frac{\frac{π}{12}}{3}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{π}{12 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

12 \cdot 3 = 36

= \frac{2 πn}{3} - \frac{π}{36}

x = \frac{2 πn}{3} - \frac{π}{36}

x = \frac{2 πn}{3} - \frac{π}{36}

x = \frac{2 πn}{3} - \frac{π}{36}

Solve

3 x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn : x = \frac{2 πn}{3} + \frac{19 π}{36}

3 x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn
