[Math] sin (x) + cos (x) = 0. Why this equation has only one solution set

trigonometry

The equation "sin (x) + cos (x) = 0" has only one solution set "$x=\frac{3\pi }{4}+\pi n$".

Why it has not solution set "$x=\frac{7\pi }{4}+\pi n$"? Although it satisfy the equation.

Please help quickly.

The equation is equivalent to $$\tan x=-1$$ since the two functions $\cos$ and $\sin$ don't vanish together so we find $$x\equiv\frac{3\pi}4\mod \pi$$
