Differential equations — practice question

The variables $x$ and $\theta$ are linked by the differential equation $\frac{dx}{d\theta} = (x + 2) \sin^2 2\theta$, and $x = 0$ when $\theta = 0$ is given.
(main)[9]

Solve the differential equation and calculate the value of $x$ when $\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}$, giving your answer correct to $3$ significant figures.
