The solution

You have entered [src]
1 - 2*cos(3*x) + 5*cos(3*x) + 1 = 0
$$\left(\left(1 - 2 \cos{\left(3 x \right)}\right) + 5 \cos{\left(3 x \right)}\right) + 1 = 0$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\left(\left(1 - 2 \cos{\left(3 x \right)}\right) + 5 \cos{\left(3 x \right)}\right) + 1 = 0$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
Move 2 to right part of the equation

with the change of sign in 2

We get:
$$3 \cos{\left(3 x \right)} = -2$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 3

The equation is transformed to
$$\cos{\left(3 x \right)} = - \frac{2}{3}$$
This equation is transformed to
$$3 x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)}$$
$$3 x = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)}$$
Or
$$3 x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)}$$
$$3 x = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)}$$
, where n - is a integer
Divide both parts of the equation by
$$3$$
we get the answer:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\pi n}{3} + \frac{\operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)}}{3}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{\pi n}{3} - \frac{\pi}{3} + \frac{\operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{2}{3} \right)}}{3}$$
