Don't be faked out by the 2Q thing.
Let x = 2Q
Then the equation turns into sin x + cos x = 0
or
sin x = -cos x
Contemplate your unit circle for a while, and you should see that this is true when x = 135 degrees or x = 315 degrees.
But x = 2Q
so Q = x/2
Hence, the answers are 67.5 degrees and 157.5 degrees.
If they want you to stick to the interval between 0 and 90 degrees, then the answer would of course be 67.5 degrees.

sin(2Q) + cos(2Q) = 0
â2{(1/â2) sin(2Q) + (1/â2) cos(2Q) }= 0
(1/â2) sin(2Q) + (1/â2) cos(2Q) = 0
cos(Ï/4) sin(2Q) + sin(Ï/4) cos(2Q) = 0
sin(Ï/4 + 2Q)=0
Ï/4 + 2Q=…, 0, Ï, 2Ï, 3Ï, …
2Q=…, 0-Ï/4, Ï-Ï/4, 2Ï-Ï/4, 3Ï-Ï/4, …
2Q=…, -Ï/4, 3Ï/4, 7Ï/4, 11Ï/4, …
Q=…, -Ï/8, 3Ï/8, 7Ï/8, 11Ï/8, …
or
Q=…, -180/8(°), 3*180/8(°), 7*180/8(°), 11*180/8(°), …
Q=…, -22.5(°), 67.5(°), 157.5(°), 247.5(°), …
