$$\Leftrightarrow\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{4x}+\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{2x}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{12x}+\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{2x}\right) \\ $$$$\Leftrightarrow\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{4x}+\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{2x}=\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{12x}+\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{2x} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{12x}−\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{4x}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{2cos}\:\mathrm{8x}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{4x}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\:\begin{cases}{\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{8x}=\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow\mathrm{8x}=\mathrm{2n}\pi\pm\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}}\\{\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{4x}=\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow\mathrm{4x}=\mathrm{2n}\pi\pm\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}}\end{cases} \\ $$
