$$\cos{\left(2 x + \frac{\pi}{6} \right)} < - \frac{1}{2}$$
cos(2*x + pi/6) < -1/2
Detail solution
Given the inequality:
$$\cos{\left(2 x + \frac{\pi}{6} \right)} < - \frac{1}{2}$$
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
$$\cos{\left(2 x + \frac{\pi}{6} \right)} = - \frac{1}{2}$$
Solve:
Given the equation
$$\cos{\left(2 x + \frac{\pi}{6} \right)} = - \frac{1}{2}$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
This equation is transformed to
$$2 x + \frac{\pi}{6} = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{1}{2} \right)}$$
$$2 x + \frac{\pi}{6} = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{1}{2} \right)}$$
Or
$$2 x + \frac{\pi}{6} = \pi n + \frac{2 \pi}{3}$$
$$2 x + \frac{\pi}{6} = \pi n - \frac{\pi}{3}$$
, where n - is a integer
Move
$$\frac{\pi}{6}$$
to right part of the equation
with the opposite sign, in total:
$$2 x = \pi n + \frac{\pi}{2}$$
$$2 x = \pi n - \frac{\pi}{2}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by
$$2$$
$$x_{1} = \frac{\pi n}{2} + \frac{\pi}{4}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{\pi n}{2} - \frac{\pi}{4}$$
$$x_{1} = \frac{\pi n}{2} + \frac{\pi}{4}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{\pi n}{2} - \frac{\pi}{4}$$
This roots
$$x_{1} = \frac{\pi n}{2} + \frac{\pi}{4}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{\pi n}{2} - \frac{\pi}{4}$$
is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
$$x_{0} < x_{1}$$
For example, let's take the point
$$x_{0} = x_{1} - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$\left(\frac{\pi n}{2} + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) + - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$\frac{\pi n}{2} - \frac{1}{10} + \frac{\pi}{4}$$
substitute to the expression
$$\cos{\left(2 x + \frac{\pi}{6} \right)} < - \frac{1}{2}$$
$$\cos{\left(2 \left(\frac{\pi n}{2} - \frac{1}{10} + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) + \frac{\pi}{6} \right)} < - \frac{1}{2}$$

-sin|- - + -- + pi*n| < -1/2
    \  5   6        /

-sin|- - + -- + pi*n| > -1/2
    \  5   6        /       

Then
$$x < \frac{\pi n}{2} + \frac{\pi}{4}$$
no execute
one of the solutions of our inequality is:
$$x > \frac{\pi n}{2} + \frac{\pi}{4} \wedge x < \frac{\pi n}{2} - \frac{\pi}{4}$$
