find c such that (f)average=f(c)

f(x)=7sin(x)-sin(2x), [0,pi]

ok so i found (f)average= 14/pi

then i tried to compute:
7sin(c)-sin(2c)= (14/pi)

but the answers i got were wrong.
please if someone could reply with some helpful information on how to solve this. thank you

this is how i would start it:

[tex]7\sin c - \sin 2c = \frac{14}{\pi}[/tex]

[tex]7\sin c - 2\sin c \cos c = \frac{14}{\pi}[/tex].

Let [tex]a = \sin c[/tex] and [tex]b = \cos c[/tex].

Then [tex]7a-2ab = \frac{14}{\pi}[/tex]. We also know that [tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = 1[/tex]. Can you go from there?
