trigonometry - solving Trigonometric equations: textrmcos(5x)textrmcos(x)=textrmsin(5x)textrmsin(x)0.5

Question: Find solutions for cos(5x)cos(x)=sin(5x)sin(x)0.5

I did cos(6x)=1/2 using the subtraction formula for cos.
I'm confused how to find the solutions now since there are 12.



I thought you could just see that its cos of 20 degrees and see what solutions are in quadrant 1 and 4, but do you add the period to get the 12 solutions? If someone could explain how to find the twelve solutions that would be great.
