#A = 150^@+2*360^@#
and # 210^@+n*360^@#
#color(white)("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")"for "AAn in ZZ#

Explanation:

#2cos(A)+sqrt(3)#

#rarrcolor(white)("XXX")2cos(A)= -sqrt(3)#

#rarrcolor(white)("XXX")cos(A)= -sqrt(3)/2#

The image below shows the possible angles for this:
enter image source here
The angle in Quadrant II is #180^@-30^@ = 150^@#

The angle in Quadrant III is #180^@ + 30^@ = 210^@#

Obviously any additional full rotations (multiples of #360^@#) would also need to be included in order to specify all possible solutions.

If you prefer your answer in radians
#A = (5pi)/6+n*2pi#
and #(7pi)/6+n*2pi#
#color(white)("XXXXXXXXX")AAn in ZZ#
