Identify the optimal first step convenient to solve the following trigonometric
equation. Do not consider the step which is possible but does not help to solve the
equation.
\[
\sin x = 1 +\cos x
\]
\(\sin ^{2}x = 1 + 2\cos x +\cos ^{2}x\)
\(\sin ^{2}x = 1 +\cos ^{2}x\)
substitution \( 1 +\cos x = z\)
\(\sin x -\cos x = z\)
