how would one go about solving this equation?

cos(2x+1)+cos(3x+2)+cos(x+1) = 0

thank you

how would one go about solving the problem in the subject line?

thank you

Do you know any results like cos A + Cos B = ?
That might help if you are really stuck?
There might be a visual way to think about it but i am not sure yet.

cos(2x)+cos(3x)+cos(x) = 0

I can do the above problem, but am stumped by the +1, +2 in the original


The problem was actually in a test today and the subject line is the problem to the best of recollection. however, the problem might be slightly wrong as I have written it in the subject line

You were expected to know that cos(a+ b)= cos(a)cos(b)- sin(a)sin(b) so that cos(2x+ 1)= cos(1)cos(2x)- sin(1)sin(2x), cos(3x+ 2)a= cos(2)cos(3x)- sin(2)sin(3x), and cos(x+ 1)= cos(1)cos(x)- sin(1)sin(x).
