    Step-by-step explanation:

    cosec²x = 1/sin²x = (sin²x+cos²x) / sin²x = 1 + cos²x/sin²x = 1 + cot²x.

    Therefore:

    1+cot²x = 3cot x - 1

    cot²x - 3 cot x + 2 = 0

    let cot x = t

    t²-3t+2=0

    t²-2t-t+2=0

    t (t-2) - (t-2) = 0

    (t-1) (t-2) = 0

    t1=1

    t2=2

    so:

    cot x = 1 then x1 = π/4 + πk

    cot x = 2 then x2 = arccot (2) + πk

    k is an integral.
