You can put this solution on YOUR website!
7cos(x)sin(x)+14 cos(x) = 0
-------
7cos(x)[sin(x) + 2] = 0
---
cos(x) = 0 or sin(x) = -2
----
cos(x) = 0 yields solution x = pi/2 and x = (3/2)pi
sin(x) = 02 yields no solution as it is extraneous

7cos(x)sin(x)+14 cos(x) = 0
cos*sin + 2cos = 0
---
cos*(sin + 2) = 0
cos = 0 --> x = pi/2, 3pi/2
----
sin = -2
No real solution.
