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

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

Solve

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

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

Move

\frac{2 π}{3}

to the right side

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

Add

\frac{2 π}{3}

to both sides

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

x - \frac{2 π}{3} + \frac{2 π}{3} : x

x - \frac{2 π}{3} + \frac{2 π}{3}

Add similar elements:

- \frac{2 π}{3} + \frac{2 π}{3} = 0

= x

Simplify

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

\frac{π}{3} + 2 πn + \frac{2 π}{3}

Group like terms

= 2 πn + \frac{π}{3} + \frac{2 π}{3}

Combine the fractions

\frac{π}{3} + \frac{2 π}{3} : π

Apply rule

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

= \frac{π + 2 π}{3}

Add similar elements:

π + 2 π = 3 π

= \frac{3 π}{3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{3}{3} = 1

= π

= 2 πn + π

x = 2 πn + π

x = 2 πn + π

x = 2 πn + π

Solve

x - \frac{2 π}{3} = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn : x = 2 πn + \frac{7 π}{3}

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

Move

\frac{2 π}{3}

to the right side

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

Add

\frac{2 π}{3}

to both sides

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

Simplify

Simplify

x - \frac{2 π}{3} + \frac{2 π}{3} : x

x - \frac{2 π}{3} + \frac{2 π}{3}

Add similar elements:

- \frac{2 π}{3} + \frac{2 π}{3} = 0

= x

Simplify

\frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn + \frac{2 π}{3} : 2 πn + \frac{7 π}{3}

\frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn + \frac{2 π}{3}

Group like terms

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

Combine the fractions

\frac{5 π}{3} + \frac{2 π}{3} : \frac{7 π}{3}

Apply rule

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

= \frac{5 π + 2 π}{3}

Add similar elements:

5 π + 2 π = 7 π

= \frac{7 π}{3}

= 2 πn + \frac{7 π}{3}

x = 2 πn + \frac{7 π}{3}

x = 2 πn + \frac{7 π}{3}

x = 2 πn + \frac{7 π}{3}

x = 2 πn + π, x = 2 πn + \frac{7 π}{3}
