The correct answer is: $1$
Given, $3 \sin x+4 \cos x=5$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 3\left(\frac{2 \tan \frac{x}{2}}{1+\tan ^2 \frac{x}{2}}\right)+4\left(\frac{1-\tan ^2 \frac{x}{2}}{1+\tan ^2 \frac{x}{2}}\right)=5 \\ & \Rightarrow 6 \tan \frac{x}{2}+4-4 \tan ^2 \frac{x}{2}=5\left(1+\tan ^2 \frac{x}{2}\right) \\ & \Rightarrow 6 \tan \frac{x}{2}-9 \tan ^2 \frac{x}{2}=1\end{aligned}$
