$${let}\:\:\theta={x}+\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{6}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{2}\theta\:=\:\mathrm{3}/\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\mathrm{2}\theta\:=\:\mathrm{2}{n}\pi\pm\mathrm{cos}^{−\mathrm{1}} \frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:{x}\:=\:{n}\pi−\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{6}}\pm\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{cos}^{−\mathrm{1}} \frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}\:. \\ $$
