The equation 3x + cos(2x) = c cannot be solved analytically for x in terms of the constant c. Participants emphasize that while a closed-form solution is not possible, alternative methods exist to find x. Clarification on the context of the homework problem is needed to provide appropriate guidance. The forum encourages users to engage with their learning rather than seek direct answers. Overall, the discussion highlights the importance of understanding the problem's requirements before attempting to solve it.

You can not do that analytically.
 
Is there more to the original question?
 
What kind of homework problem is this? If it's a real homework problem you were given some clues in your book or in your class as to how to go about solving for x.

As dirk mentioned, there is no closed form analytic way to solve for x. That doesn't mean that you can't solve for x. There are all kinds of ways to do this. Before we help you, we need to know a bit more about the problem. We don't do your homework for you at this site. We instead help you do own homework.
