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

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

Solve

5 x = \frac{2 π}{3} + 2 πn : x = \frac{2 π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

5 x = \frac{2 π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

5

5 x = \frac{2 π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

5

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{5 x}{5} : x

\frac{5 x}{5}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{5}{5} = 1

= x

Simplify

\frac{\frac{2 π}{3}}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5} : \frac{2 π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

\frac{\frac{2 π}{3}}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

\frac{\frac{2 π}{3}}{5} = \frac{2 π}{15}

\frac{\frac{2 π}{3}}{5}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{2 π}{3 \cdot 5}

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 5 = 15

= \frac{2 π}{15}

= \frac{2 π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

x = \frac{2 π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

x = \frac{2 π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

x = \frac{2 π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

Solve

5 x = \frac{4 π}{3} + 2 πn : x = \frac{4 π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

5 x = \frac{4 π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

5

5 x = \frac{4 π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

5

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{5 x}{5} : x

\frac{5 x}{5}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{5}{5} = 1

= x

Simplify

\frac{\frac{4 π}{3}}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5} : \frac{4 π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

\frac{\frac{4 π}{3}}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

\frac{\frac{4 π}{3}}{5} = \frac{4 π}{15}

\frac{\frac{4 π}{3}}{5}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{4 π}{3 \cdot 5}

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 5 = 15

= \frac{4 π}{15}

= \frac{4 π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

x = \frac{4 π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

x = \frac{4 π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

x = \frac{4 π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

x = \frac{2 π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}, x = \frac{4 π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}
