Is the equation this?
6 \cos(x+45) = 5
Divide by 6 first to get;
\cos(x+45) = \frac56
Then, find the critical values, that of \cos(\alpha) that gives 5/6.
If the limits weren't specified, you use a variable '360n' and express your answer.
For example, one set of answers is:
33.6 +360n
for alpha.
Then, for x, it becomes:
33.6 - 45 + 360n = 360n - 11.4
