$\large\begin{array}{l} \textsf{Solve the trigonometric equation}\\\\ \mathsf{\sqrt{3}\,sin\,x+cos\,x=\sqrt{3}}\qquad\quad\mathsf{0^\circ$

$\large\begin{array}{l} \textsf{Multiply both sides by }\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{2}:}\\\\ \mathsf{\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\sqrt{3}\,sin\,x+cos\,x\right)=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \sqrt{3}}\\\\ \mathsf{\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\,sin\,x+\dfrac{1}{2}\,cos\,x=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\qquad\quad(i)} \end{array}$

$\large\begin{array}{l} \textsf{But,}\\\\ \left\{\! \begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}&\!\!=\!\!&\mathsf{cos\,30^\circ}\\\\ \mathsf{\dfrac{1}{2}}&\!\!=\!\!&\mathsf{sin\,30^\circ} \end{array} \right. \end{array}$

$\large\begin{array}{l} \textsf{so (i) becomes}\\\\ \mathsf{cos\,30^\circ\,sin\,x+sin\,30^\circ\,cos\,x=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\\\\ \mathsf{sin\,x\,cos\,30^\circ+cos\,x\,sin\,30^\circ=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\qquad\quad(ii)} \end{array}$

$\large\begin{array}{l} \textsf{Notice that the left side of (ii) is the expanded form of the}\\\textsf{sine of a sum:}\\\\ \mathsf{sin(\alpha+\beta)=sin\,\alpha\,cos\,\beta+cos\,\alpha\,sin\,\beta}\\\\ \textsf{where }\mathsf{\alpha=x~~and~~\beta=30^\circ.} \end{array}$

$\large\begin{array}{l} \textsf{So we can use this to rewrite (ii) as}\\\\ \mathsf{sin(x+30^\circ)=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\qquad\quad\Big(\textsf{but }\mathsf{\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=sin\,60^\circ}\Big)\\\\ \mathsf{sin(x+30^\circ)=sin\,60^\circ\qquad\quad(iii)} \end{array}$

$\large\begin{array}{l} \textsf{From the equality of sines above, we get}\\\\ \begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{x+30^\circ=60^\circ+k\cdot 360^\circ}&~\textsf{ or }~&\mathsf{x+30^\circ=(180^\circ-60^\circ)+k\cdot 360^\circ}\\\\ \mathsf{x+30^\circ=60^\circ+k\cdot 360^\circ}&~\textsf{ or }~&\mathsf{x+30^\circ=120^\circ+k\cdot 360^\circ}\\\\ \mathsf{x=60^\circ-30^\circ+k\cdot 360^\circ}&~\textsf{ or }~&\mathsf{x=120^\circ-30^\circ+k\cdot 360^\circ} \end{array} \end{array}$

$\large\begin{array}{l} \boxed{\begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{x=30^\circ+k\cdot 360^\circ}&~\textsf{ or }~&\mathsf{x=90^\circ+k\cdot 360^\circ} \end{array}} \\\\\\\textsf{where k is an integer.}\end{array}$

$\large\begin{array}{l} \textsf{But for this question, we have also to restrict the solutions}\\\textsf{to this specific interval: }\mathsf{0^\circ$

$\large\begin{array}{l} \bullet~~\textsf{For }\mathsf{k=0,}\\\\ \boxed{\begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{x=30^\circ}&~\textsf{ or }~&\mathsf{x=90^\circ} \end{array}}\\\\\uparrow\\\\ \textsf{those are the solutions for the equation.}\\\\\\ \textsf{Solution set: }\mathsf{S=\{30^\circ,\,90^\circ\}} \end{array}$
