Response to comment:
Since they're asking for a third answer ask again, when does cos(z)=1/2?
cos(z) would equal 1/2 when z equals
Plug into the equation: 3x=z


Since the equation's domain is up to , this is why they ask for the third solution. The next solution for x would be but this is wrong since is greater than . exceeds the domain restrictions.
