The correct answer is: -x

We have 2sinα1+cosα+sinα=x.

2sinα1+cosα+sinα×1-cosα+sinα1-cosα+sinα=x

2sinα1-cosα-sinα12-cosα+sinα2=x

2sinα1-cosα-sinα1-cos2α+sin2α+2cosαsinα=x

Using sin2θ+cos2θ=1,

2sinα1-cosα-sinα1-1+2cosαsinα=x

2sinα1-cosα-sinα1-1-2cosαsinα=x

2sinα1-cosα-sinα-2cosαsinα=x

1-cosα-sinα-cosα=x

1-cosα-sinαcosα=-x.
