The solution

You have entered [src]
3*cos(x) - 1 = 0
$$3 \cos{\left(x \right)} - 1 = 0$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$3 \cos{\left(x \right)} - 1 = 0$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
Move -1 to right part of the equation

with the change of sign in -1

We get:
$$3 \cos{\left(x \right)} - 1 + 1 = 1$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 3

The equation is transformed to
$$\cos{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{3}$$
This equation is transformed to
$$x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{1}{3} \right)}$$
$$x = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{1}{3} \right)}$$
Or
$$x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{1}{3} \right)}$$
$$x = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{1}{3} \right)}$$
, where n - is a integer

sum
0 + -acos(1/3) + 2*pi + acos(1/3)
$$\operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{1}{3} \right)} + \left(0 + \left(- \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{1}{3} \right)} + 2 \pi\right)\right)$$
=
2*pi
$$2 \pi$$
product
1*(-acos(1/3) + 2*pi)*acos(1/3)
$$1 \left(- \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{1}{3} \right)} + 2 \pi\right) \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{1}{3} \right)}$$
=
(-acos(1/3) + 2*pi)*acos(1/3)
$$\left(- \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{1}{3} \right)} + 2 \pi\right) \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{1}{3} \right)}$$
(-acos(1/3) + 2*pi)*acos(1/3)
