  1. Prove the identity $$\sin \left( x - 30 ^ { \circ } \right) + \cos \left( x - 60 ^ { \circ } \right) \equiv ( \sqrt { } 3 ) \sin x$$
  2. Hence solve the equation $$\sin \left( x - 30 ^ { \circ } \right) + \cos \left( x - 60 ^ { \circ } \right) = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \sec x$$ for \(0 ^ { \circ } < x < 360 ^ { \circ }\).
