\frac{π ( x - 7 )}{3} = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, \frac{π ( x - 7 )}{3} = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

\frac{π ( x - 7 )}{3} = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, \frac{π ( x - 7 )}{3} = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Solve

\frac{π ( x - 7 )}{3} = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn : x = 6 n + 8

\frac{π ( x - 7 )}{3} = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn

Multiply both sides by

3

\frac{π ( x - 7 )}{3} = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn

Multiply both sides by

\frac{3 π ( x - 7 )}{3} = 3 \cdot \frac{π}{3} + 3 \cdot 2 πn

Simplify

\frac{3 π ( x - 7 )}{3} = 3 \cdot \frac{π}{3} + 3 \cdot 2 πn

Simplify

\frac{3 π ( x - 7 )}{3} : π (x - 7)

\frac{3 π ( x - 7 )}{3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{3}{3} = 1

= π (x - 7)

Simplify

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

3 \cdot \frac{π}{3} + 3 \cdot 2 πn

3 \cdot \frac{π}{3} = π

3 \cdot \frac{π}{3}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{π 3}{3}

Cancel the common factor:

3

= π

3 \cdot 2 πn = 6 πn

3 \cdot 2 πn

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 2 = 6

= 6 πn

= π + 6 πn

π (x - 7) = π + 6 πn

π (x - 7) = π + 6 πn

π (x - 7) = π + 6 πn

Divide both sides by

π

π (x - 7) = π + 6 πn

Divide both sides by

π

\frac{π ( x - 7 )}{π} = \frac{π}{π} + \frac{6 πn}{π}

Simplify
