Answer

$x=\frac{\pi}{3}$ and $x=\frac{5\pi}{3}$

Work Step by Step

$cos~x+sin~x~tan~x=2$ $cos~x+sin~x~\frac{sin~x}{cos~x}=2$ $\frac{cos~x(cos~x)}{cos~x}+\frac{sin^2x}{cos~x}=2$ $\frac{cos^2x+sin^2x}{cos~x}=2$ $\frac{1}{cos~x}=2$ $cos~x=\frac{1}{2}$ The solutions in the interval $[0,2\pi)$ are: $x=\frac{\pi}{3}$ and $x=\frac{5\pi}{3}$
