I am having trouble solving for the two values
of (x) that are closest to zero.
-30 sin 3x = 1/10 cos 3x
Is there a formula I could use to make this easy?

Write this as an equation in tan(3x)..
Damned charming :)

sin(x)/cos(x) = tan(x)
to see why this is true Draw a right triangle with hypotenuse 1 and an acute angle x, you can work the sides of the right triangle have lengths sin(x) and cos(x).
