You want to isolate the trig function and the constants. First subtract 3 on both sides.
4sin%28x%29=-3
Then divide both sides by 4.
sin%28x%29=-3%2F4
I don't believe this is a special number. You'll have to rely on arcsin.
arcsin%28sin%28x%29%29=arcsin%28-3%2F4%29
x=arcsin%28-3%2F4%29, which is approximately -0.848
