sin(3x) - sin(6x) = 0; sin(3x) - 2sin(3x)cos(3x) = 0, sin(3x) = 0, 3x = π n, x = πn/3. So if n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
We have 6 solutions: 0, π/3, 2π/3, π, 4π/3 and 5π/3 on interval [0, 2π).
Then 1 - 2cos(3x) = 0; cos(3x) = 1/2; 3x = π/3 + 2πn or 3x = 5π/3 + 2πn
x = π/9 + 2πn/3 and for n = 0, 1, 2 we have 3 solutions: π/9, 7π/9, 13π/9 on interval [0. 2π)
x = 5π/9 + 2πn/3 and for n = 0, 1, 2 we have 3 solutions: 5π/9, 11π/9, 17π/9 on interval [0,2π)
Total we have 12 solutions.
