3 - sin (x) - 3*cos(x) = 0
$$\left(3 - \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) - 3 \cos{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\left(3 - \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) - 3 \cos{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
transform
$$\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} - 3 \cos{\left(x \right)} + 2 = 0$$
$$\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} - 3 \cos{\left(x \right)} + 2 = 0$$
Do replacement
$$w = \cos{\left(x \right)}$$
This equation is of the form
a*w^2 + b*w + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$w_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$w_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -3$$
$$c = 2$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-3)^2 - 4 * (1) * (2) = 1

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
w1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

w2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$w_{1} = 2$$
$$w_{2} = 1$$
do backward replacement
$$\cos{\left(x \right)} = w$$
Given the equation
$$\cos{\left(x \right)} = w$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
This equation is transformed to
$$x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(w \right)}$$
$$x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(w \right)} - \pi$$
Or
$$x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(w \right)}$$
$$x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(w \right)} - \pi$$
, where n - is a integer
substitute w:
$$x_{1} = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(w_{1} \right)}$$
$$x_{1} = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(2 \right)}$$
$$x_{1} = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(2 \right)}$$
$$x_{2} = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(w_{2} \right)}$$
$$x_{2} = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(1 \right)}$$
$$x_{2} = \pi n$$
$$x_{3} = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(w_{1} \right)} - \pi$$
$$x_{3} = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(2 \right)}$$
$$x_{3} = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(2 \right)}$$
$$x_{4} = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(w_{2} \right)} - \pi$$
$$x_{4} = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(1 \right)}$$
$$x_{4} = \pi n - \pi$$
