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

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

Solve

\frac{x}{2} + \frac{π}{3} = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn : x = 2 πn + \frac{5 π}{6}

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

Move

\frac{π}{3}

to the right side

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

Subtract

\frac{π}{3}

from both sides

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{x}{2} + \frac{π}{3} - \frac{π}{3} : \frac{x}{2}

\frac{x}{2} + \frac{π}{3} - \frac{π}{3}

Add similar elements:

\frac{π}{3} - \frac{π}{3} = 0

= \frac{x}{2}

Simplify

\frac{3 π}{4} + πn - \frac{π}{3} : πn + \frac{5 π}{12}

\frac{3 π}{4} + πn - \frac{π}{3}

\frac{3 π}{4} = \frac{3 π 3}{4 \cdot 3} = \frac{9 π}{12}

= - \frac{π 4}{12} + \frac{9 π}{12}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{- π 4 + 9 π}{12}

Add similar elements:

- 4 π + 9 π = 5 π

= πn + \frac{5 π}{12}

\frac{x}{2} = πn + \frac{5 π}{12}

\frac{x}{2} = πn + \frac{5 π}{12}

\frac{x}{2} = πn + \frac{5 π}{12}

Multiply both sides by

\frac{x}{2} = πn + \frac{5 π}{12}

Multiply both sides by

\frac{2 x}{2} = 2 πn + 2 \cdot \frac{5 π}{12}

Simplify

\frac{2 x}{2} = 2 πn + 2 \cdot \frac{5 π}{12}

Simplify

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}

= \frac{5 π 2}{12}

Multiply the numbers:

5 \cdot 2 = 10

= \frac{10 π}{12}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{5 π}{6}

= 2 πn + \frac{5 π}{6}

x = 2 πn + \frac{5 π}{6}

x = 2 πn + \frac{5 π}{6}

x = 2 πn + \frac{5 π}{6}

x = 2 πn + \frac{5 π}{6}
