4. In this question you should show detailed reasoning. \section*{Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable.}
  1. Show that the equation $$2 \sin \left( \theta - 30 ^ { \circ } \right) = 5 \cos \theta$$ can be written in the form $$\tan \theta = 2 \sqrt { 3 }$$
  2. Hence, or otherwise, solve for \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant 360 ^ { \circ }\) $$2 \sin \left( x - 10 ^ { \circ } \right) = 5 \cos \left( x + 20 ^ { \circ } \right)$$ giving your answers to one decimal place.
