Trigonometric Equation

Hi!
Can anyone help me or show me a way to solve the following trigonometric equation?

( sin 3x + sqrt3 cos 3x)^2 - 2 cos 14x = 2

solving the squared bracket using
the relations

sin(x)^2 + cos(x)^2 =1
and 2*sin(3x)*cos(3x) = sin(6x)
and cos(3x)^2 =(1+cos(6*x))/2

you will arrive at something like

a*cos(6x)+bsin(6x)=2*cos(14x)
a, b beeing constants after reducing the expression to its minumum form

I strongly assume that there is a mistake in the problem posed as cos(14x) cannot be resolved in parts containing only multiples of 6

therefore it is your turn to solve the problem by trial and error or with the help of a good calculator
