x=π3,5π3

Explanation:

First isolate X:
18cosx9=0
18cosx=9
cosx=918
cosx=12
Now that we know that Cosine of X =12, we can use the unit circle to find which angles satisty the equation.
Points on the unit circle are (cos,sin), so any point on the unit circle that has an x value of 12 is a solution. The angles that satisfy this condition are π3 and 5π3.
