Step 1

Write the equation

sin(7x + 1) = cos(x + 33)

Step 2

From the complementary angle theorem

sinx = cos(90 - x)

Therefore

sin(7x + 1) = cos(x + 33)

cos(90 -[7x + 1]) = cos(x + 33)

cos(90 - 1 - 7x) = cos(x + 33)

cos(89 - 7x) = cos(x + 33)

89 - 7x = x + 33

89 - 33 = x + 7x

56 = 8x

x = 56/8

x = 7

sin(7x + 1)

sin(7x7 + 1)

sin(49 + 1)

sin50

cos(x + 33)

cos(7+33)

cos40

Angle 1 = 50

Angle 2 = 40
