sin(5x) + sin(x) = 0
Using trigonometric identities:
2sin(3x)cos(2x) = 0
sin(3x)cos(2x) = 0

sin(3x) = 0
3x = nπ
x = nπ/3

OR
cos(2x) = 0
2x = (2n+1)π/2
x = (2n+1)π/4

x = {nπ/3, (2n+1)π/4} where n is an integer

try using this formula sina + sinb = 2sin((a+b)/2)cos((a-b)/2)

2sin((5x+x)/2)cos((5x-x)/2) = 0

sin3x = 0 x = 0 or pi/3
cos2x = 0 x = pi/4
