We are to find all the solutions for x of the equation 2 sin(3x) - 1 = 0 in the interval [0, 2pi). The first thing we should note is that if x is in the interval [0, 2pi) then 3x is in the interval [0, 6pi).

2+sin%283x%29+-+1+=+0
2+sin%283x%29+=+1
sin%283x%29+=+1%2F2

The solutions for 3x on the interval [0, 6pi) are
pi/6, 5pi/6, 13pi/6, 17pi/6, 25pi/6, and 29pi/6

The solutions for x on the interval [0,2pi) are
pi/18, 5pi/18, 13pi/18, 17pi/18, 25pi/18, and 29pi/18
