Generate graphs of the functions and find their points of intersection.

Explanation:

As this question is in the "Graphing Trigonometric Functions" section, I assume that the graphical solution is preferred over the numerical one of #-2cos(x) = 3sin(3x)#. You can expand a graph scale to find individual solution points. As both functions are continuous there are an infinite number of intersections.
