Trig Identity clarification

The question is: sin theta = cos (theta + 10)

For my answers I got

  1. theta = 90o - (theta + 10o) + 360on : [180o(9n +2)]/9
  2. theta = 180o - (90o - (theta + 10o)) = 360on

For the second I found it's true for all theta; 0 = 180o - 80o +360on, but only the first answer is correct. I was just wondering why only the first is right if the second is also true? Could someone please clarify the interpretations of these answers? thanks :)
