$$\cos{\left(x - \frac{\pi}{6} \right)} = -1$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\cos{\left(x - \frac{\pi}{6} \right)} = -1$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
This equation is transformed to
$$x + \frac{\pi}{3} = 2 \pi n + \operatorname{asin}{\left(-1 \right)}$$
$$x + \frac{\pi}{3} = 2 \pi n - \operatorname{asin}{\left(-1 \right)} + \pi$$
Or
$$x + \frac{\pi}{3} = 2 \pi n - \frac{\pi}{2}$$
$$x + \frac{\pi}{3} = 2 \pi n + \frac{3 \pi}{2}$$
, where n - is a integer
Move
$$\frac{\pi}{3}$$
to right part of the equation
with the opposite sign, in total:
$$x = 2 \pi n - \frac{5 \pi}{6}$$
$$x = 2 \pi n + \frac{7 \pi}{6}$$
