\(\displaystyle \text{ You have to show work -- Similar equations where given before and were solved }\)

\(\displaystyle sinx+\sqrt2=-sinx\)

\(\displaystyle sinx+sinx=-\sqrt2\)

\(\displaystyle (sinx)(1+1)=-\sqrt2\)

\(\displaystyle sinx=-\frac{\sqrt2}{2}\)

So , x =
 
\(\displaystyle sin(x)+\sqrt 2 \ = \ -sin(x)\)

\(\displaystyle 2sin(x) \ = \ -\sqrt 2\)

\(\displaystyle sin(x) \ = \ \frac{-\sqrt 2}{2}\)

\(\displaystyle x \ = \ arcsin(\frac{-\sqrt 2}{2}) \ = \ \frac{-\pi}{4}\)
