2*cos(x) - \/ 2  = 0
$$2 \cos{\left(x \right)} - \sqrt{2} = 0$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$2 \cos{\left(x \right)} - \sqrt{2} = 0$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
Move -sqrt(2) to right part of the equation

with the change of sign in -sqrt(2)

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

The equation is transformed to
$$\cos{\left(x \right)} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$
This equation is transformed to
$$x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)}$$
$$x = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)}$$
Or
$$x = \pi n + \frac{\pi}{4}$$
$$x = \pi n - \frac{3 \pi}{4}$$
, where n - is a integer
