\(\mathrm{Use\:the\:following\:identity}:\quad \sin \left(2x\right)=2\cos \left(x\right)\sin \left(x\right)\)

\(1.5\cos \left(x\right)+2\cos \left(x\right)\sin \left(x\right)=0\)

\(=\cos \left(x\right)\left(2\sin \left(x\right)+1.5\right)\)

\(\cos \left(x\right)=0\:\:\:\mathrm{or}\:\:\:\:2\sin \left(x\right)+1.5=0\)

\(\cos \left(x\right)=0\quad :\quad x=\frac{\pi }{2}+2\pi n,\:x=\frac{3\pi }{2}+2\pi n\)

\(2\sin \left(x\right)+1.5=0\quad :\quad x=2\pi n-0.84806,\:x=2\pi n+\pi +0.84806\)

\(x=2\pi n+\pi +0.84806,\:x=2\pi n-0.84806,\:x=\frac{3\pi }{2}+2\pi n,\:x=\frac{\pi }{2}+2\pi n\)

solve each x between 0 and 2pi

\(0<2\pi n-0.84806<2\pi\)

\(\frac{0.84806}{2pi}<n<1+ \frac{0.84806}{2pi }\)

hence , n = 1 , plug it in the previous equation \(2\pi -0.84806=5.435\)

So without calculating other equation

we have choices

and the true choice is 

e. x = 1.571, 3.990, 4.712, 5.435 

if you want to complete just solve each other x between 0 and 2 pi and don't forget that n is an integer number
