Solution for cos(20-x)=cos(3*x+40) equation:


Simplifying
cos(20 + -1x) = cos(3x + 40)
(20 * cos + -1x * cos) = cos(3x + 40)
(20cos + -1cosx) = cos(3x + 40)

Reorder the terms:
20cos + -1cosx = cos(40 + 3x)
20cos + -1cosx = (40 * cos + 3x * cos)
20cos + -1cosx = (40cos + 3cosx)

Solving
20cos + -1cosx = 40cos + 3cosx

Solving for variable 'c'.

Move all terms containing c to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-40cos' to each side of the equation.
20cos + -40cos + -1cosx = 40cos + -40cos + 3cosx

Combine like terms: 20cos + -40cos = -20cos
-20cos + -1cosx = 40cos + -40cos + 3cosx

Combine like terms: 40cos + -40cos = 0
-20cos + -1cosx = 0 + 3cosx
-20cos + -1cosx = 3cosx

Add '-3cosx' to each side of the equation.
-20cos + -1cosx + -3cosx = 3cosx + -3cosx

Combine like terms: -1cosx + -3cosx = -4cosx
-20cos + -4cosx = 3cosx + -3cosx

Combine like terms: 3cosx + -3cosx = 0
-20cos + -4cosx = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-4cos'.
-4cos(5 + x) = 0

Ignore the factor -4.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'cos' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying cos = 0 Solving cos = 0 Move all terms containing c to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying cos = 0 The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(5 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 5 + x = 0 Solving 5 + x = 0 Move all terms containing c to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-5' to each side of the equation. 5 + -5 + x = 0 + -5 Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0 0 + x = 0 + -5 x = 0 + -5 Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5 x = -5 Add '-1x' to each side of the equation. x + -1x = -5 + -1x Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0 0 = -5 + -1x Simplifying 0 = -5 + -1x The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined. The solution to this equation could not be determined.
