2 x + 6 0^{\circ} = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, 2 x + 6 0^{\circ} = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

2 x + 6 0^{\circ} = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, 2 x + 6 0^{\circ} = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solve

2 x + 6 0^{\circ} = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n : x = 18 0^{\circ} n + 1 5^{\circ}

2 x + 6 0^{\circ} = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Move

6 0^{\circ}

to the right side

2 x + 6 0^{\circ} = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Subtract

6 0^{\circ}

from both sides

2 x + 6 0^{\circ} - 6 0^{\circ} = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n - 6 0^{\circ}

Simplify

2 x + 6 0^{\circ} - 6 0^{\circ} = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n - 6 0^{\circ}

Simplify

2 x + 6 0^{\circ} - 6 0^{\circ} : 2 x

2 x + 6 0^{\circ} - 6 0^{\circ}

Add similar elements:

6 0^{\circ} - 6 0^{\circ} = 0

= 2 x

Simplify

9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n - 6 0^{\circ} : 36 0^{\circ} n + 3 0^{\circ}

Multiply the numbers:

6 \cdot 2 = 12

= 1 5^{\circ}

= 18 0^{\circ} n + 1 5^{\circ}

x = 18 0^{\circ} n + 1 5^{\circ}

x = 18 0^{\circ} n + 1 5^{\circ}

x = 18 0^{\circ} n + 1 5^{\circ}

Solve

2 x + 6 0^{\circ} = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n : x = 18 0^{\circ} n + 10 5^{\circ}
