Question Number 170371 by cortano1 last updated on 22/May/22

 solve ((sin (x+18°))/(sin x)) = ((sin 18°)/(sin 12°))

$$\:{solve}\:\frac{\mathrm{sin}\:\left({x}+\mathrm{18}°\right)}{\mathrm{sin}\:{x}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{18}°}{\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{12}°} \\ $$

 sin 18°=2sin 12°sin 48°   ((sin (x+18°))/(sin x)) = ((2sin 12° sin 48°)/(sin 12°))  sin (x+18°)=2sin x sin 48°  sin (x+18°)=cos (x−48°)−cos (x+48°)  cos (72°−x)+cos (x+48°)=cos (x−48°)  2cos 60° cos (12°−x)=cos (x−48°)  ⇒cos (12°−x)=cos (x−48°)  ⇒x−48°=±(12°−x)+2kπ   ⇒ { ((x−48°=12°−x+2kπ⇒x=30°+kπ)),((x−48°=−12°+x +2kπ (have no solution))) :}
