If we just restrict ourselves to [0, 2pi], the sine will equal .5 at  pi/6 and 5p/6 rads

 

So we have....   (pi/4(x-6))= pi/6  →  pi/4 *x - 3pi/2  = pi/6  →    pi/4 * x  =  [5pi/3]/   →  x = [5pi/3][4/pi]

→  20/3

 

Also ....   (pi/4(x-6)) = 5pi/6 →  pi/4 *x - 3pi/2  = 5pi/6  → pi/4 * x = [7 pi/3] →  x = [7pi/3][4/pi]  →  28/3

sin(π(x6)4)=0.5π(x6)4=nπ+(1)n×π6nZx6=4n+(1)n×46nZx=4n+6+(1)n×23nZx=4n+6+(1)n×23nZ

 

I guess that is the domain since that is all the values that x can be  :/
