Myself, as a geometry Honors student and Algebra 2 Honors student while I am only in the 8th grade, operating with trigonometric ratios can be quite challenging considering the fact that deal with angles and sides. However this problem as it is, is in the form of (2)(sinx)(cosx)+cosx=0. Explaining this problem is a great deal of time and so I am going to direct to a very useful mathematical tool helping with most forms of math that is taught throughout colleges and some high schools.

Factor out cos(x):
cos(x)[2sin(x) + 1] = 0
Set each factor to equal zero:
cos(x) = 0
x = π/2, 3π/2
2sin(x) + 1 = 0
2sin(x) = -1
sin(x) = -1/2
x = 7π/6, 11π/6
------------
Overall:
x = π/2, 3π/2, 7π/6, 11π/6

cosx(2sinx+1) = 0
cosx = 0 or sinx = -1/2
x = pi/2, 3pi/2, 7pi/6, 11pi/6
