(pi)cos(x)-(2x)cosx-2sinx=0 Solve for x please!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first collect the similar terms such as cosx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

means take the cosx as prim term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it, next step after that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rearrange the equation as cosx(pi-2x)=2sinx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok! now should I divide by cos to make tanx on the other side or no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now I have pi-2x=2tanx this is where I am stuck, what is the next step after this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me too stuck :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, thanks for the help up to this point at least :)
