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

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

Solve

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

\frac{x}{3} = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn

Multiply both sides by

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{3 x}{3} : x

\frac{3 x}{3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{3}{3} = 1

= x

Simplify

3 \cdot \frac{π}{6} + 3 \cdot 2 πn : \frac{π}{2} + 6 πn

3 \cdot \frac{π}{6} + 3 \cdot 2 πn

3 \cdot \frac{π}{6} = \frac{π}{2}

3 \cdot \frac{π}{6}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{π 3}{6}

Cancel the common factor:

3

= \frac{π}{2}

3 \cdot 2 πn = 6 πn

3 \cdot 2 πn

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 2 = 6

= 6 πn

= \frac{π}{2} + 6 πn

x = \frac{π}{2} + 6 πn

x = \frac{π}{2} + 6 πn

x = \frac{π}{2} + 6 πn

Solve

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

\frac{x}{3} = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

Multiply both sides by

3

\frac{x}{3} = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

Multiply both sides by

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{3 x}{3} : x

\frac{3 x}{3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{3}{3} = 1

= x

Simplify

3 \cdot \frac{11 π}{6} + 3 \cdot 2 πn : \frac{11 π}{2} + 6 πn

3 \cdot \frac{11 π}{6} + 3 \cdot 2 πn

3 \cdot \frac{11 π}{6} = \frac{11 π}{2}

3 \cdot \frac{11 π}{6}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{11 π 3}{6}

Multiply the numbers:

11 \cdot 3 = 33

= \frac{33 π}{6}

Cancel the common factor:

3

= \frac{11 π}{2}

3 \cdot 2 πn = 6 πn

3 \cdot 2 πn

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 2 = 6

= 6 πn

= \frac{11 π}{2} + 6 πn

x = \frac{11 π}{2} + 6 πn

x = \frac{11 π}{2} + 6 πn

x = \frac{11 π}{2} + 6 πn

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