Solution steps
3sin2(x)+6sin(x)−11=7sin(x)−9
Solve by substitution
3sin2(x)+6sin(x)−11=7sin(x)−9
Let: sin(x)=u3u2+6u−11=7u−9
3u2+6u−11=7u−9:u=1,u=−32​
3u2+6u−11=7u−9
Move 9to the left side
3u2+6u−11=7u−9
Add 9 to both sides3u2+6u−11+9=7u−9+9
Simplify3u2+6u−2=7u
3u2+6u−2=7u
Move 7uto the left side
3u2+6u−2=7u
Subtract 7u from both sides3u2+6u−2−7u=7u−7u
Simplify3u2−u−2=0
3u2−u−2=0
Solve with the quadratic formula
3u2−u−2=0
