Find the solution        (2−(√3)) cos 2x + sin 2x = 1

$$\mathrm{Find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{solution}\: \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\left(\mathrm{2}−\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\right)\:\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{2x}\:+\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{2x}\:=\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$

 We can setting → { ((X=cos 2x)),((Y=sin 2x)) :}  so the equation becomes  { (((2−(√3))X+Y = 1)),((X^2 +Y^( 2)  = 1)) :}  substituting Y = 1−(2−(√3))X into  the second equation gives   X^2 +1−2(2−(√3))X+(7−4(√3))X^2  = 1  which has solution X= 0 or X= (1/2)  for X = 0 gives Y = 1 and for X=(1/2)  gives Y = ((√3)/2) . Now solve the equations   { ((cos 2x = 0)),((sin 2x = 1)) :} and  { ((cos 2x=(1/2))),((sin 2x=((√3)/2))) :}  The solution  { ((x=(π/4)+nπ)),((x= (π/6)+nπ)) :} n∈Z
