Let x = unknown angle\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since adding \"2pi\" radians to 'x' radians gets us \"9pi%2F4\" radians, this means that \"x%2B2pi=9pi%2F4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B2pi=9pi%2F4\" Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=9pi%2F4-2pi\" Subtract \"2pi\" from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=9pi%2F4-8pi%2F4\" Multiply \"2pi\" by \"4%2F4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%289pi-8pi%29%2F4\" Combine the fractions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=pi%2F4\" Subtract.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So if you add \"2pi\" radians to \"pi%2F4\" radians, you will get \"9pi%2F4\" radians.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
