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

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

Solve

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

\frac{π}{2} + x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Subtract

\frac{π}{2}

from both sides

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

Simplify

x = 2 πn

Solve

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

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

Move

\frac{π}{2}

to the right side

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

Subtract

\frac{π}{2}

from both sides

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{π}{2} + x - \frac{π}{2} : x

\frac{π}{2} + x - \frac{π}{2}

Add similar elements:

\frac{π}{2} - \frac{π}{2} = 0

= x

Simplify

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

\frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn - \frac{π}{2}

Group like terms

= 2 πn - \frac{π}{2} + \frac{3 π}{2}

Combine the fractions

- \frac{π}{2} + \frac{3 π}{2} : π

Apply rule

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

= \frac{- π + 3 π}{2}

Add similar elements:

- π + 3 π = 2 π

= \frac{2 π}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= π

= 2 πn + π

x = 2 πn + π

x = 2 πn + π

x = 2 πn + π

x = 2 πn, x = 2 πn + π
