    5sinx-3cosx+2=0

    (5sinx+2)^2 = (3cosx)^2

    34sin^x + 20sinx-5 = 0

    sinx = [-20 +/-sqrt(400+680)] / 68

    = [-20 +/- 32.68]/68 or

    sinx = 39.2 deg (approx.) or 10.9 deg (approx.)

    After verification, (plug in the values of sinx and cosx in the given equation:

    x = 10.9 <=ANS
