3 cos x = 3/2

Given
(1) 3cos(x) = +3/2
Dividing through by 3 we get
(2) cos(x) = +1/2
Using Invcos(.5) we get
(3) x = + or - 60 degrees, or
(4) x = 60, 300
Adding 360 degrees to each yields the next pair of angles whose cosine is .5
(5) x = 60 + 360 and 300 + 360 or
(6) x = 420, 660
Those angles that satisfy x = [0,720] are
(7) x = {60, 300, 420, 660}
The next angle whose cosine is .5 is 420+360 or 780, which is outside the domain of answers.
Answer: x = {60,300,420,660}
