I don’t understand how to solve it and in what sequence?

sin(2x)= 2 sin(x)cos(x) and cos(2x)= cos^2(x)- sin^2(x)
so this equation is
$2\sqrt{3}sin(x)cos(x)- cos^2(x)+ sin^2(x)+ 2\sqrt{3} sin(x)+ 2 cos(x)= a$

We can write that as
$sin^2(x)+ 2\sqrt{3}(cos(x)+ 1)sin(x)+ (2cos(x)- cos^2(x)- a)= 0$

Use the quadrtic formula- the solutions to $ax^2+ bx+ c= 0$ are $x= \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2- 4ac}}{2a}$-
with $a= 1$, $b= 2\sqrt{3}(cos(x)+ 1)$, and $c= 2cos(x)- cos^2(x)- a$ to get an equation relating sin(x) and cos(x) and solve that equation.

As a college student myself I know the pressure from teachers and all those academic deadlines that pile up especially if youre aiming to graduate soon. Sometimes the library feels like a second home but even then the workload hits hard. Thats why finding solid support makes a difference and I came across this https://mysupergeek.com/healthcare-help-service healthcare help service that pairs you with real pros who break down complex medical stuff step by step so you actually get it. They are top notch with solid ratings and they focus on helping you grasp the material while keeping things affordable and available around the clock. It fits right into student life whether youre dealing with university courses or just need that extra tutor vibe without the usual hassle. Makes the whole education grind a bit more manageable for sure.

yeah try rewriting it with the double angle formulas first
√3 * 2sinx cosx - (cos²x - sin²x) + 2√3 sinx + 2 cosx = a
then group the terms and treat it like a quadratic in sinx or shift the angle to get something like 4sin²(x+π/6) + 4sin(x+π/6) = a+2
that usually works for these end of school trig eqs
