My try : Sorry , but I can't figure out what is the first step to do in this question . But still I tried and converted $sin(3theta)$ into $sin (2theta + theta)$ but failed to proceed . Please tell me it's approach.

Let $cos2theta=x$.



Thus, we need to solve
$$3-4sin^2theta=8sin^22thetacos2theta$$ or
$$3-2(1-x)=8(1-x^2)x$$ or
$$8x^3-6x+1=0$$ or
$$2cos6theta+1=0$$ or
$$cos6theta=-frac12.$$
Can you end it now?



On $(0,pi)$ I got five roots: $$left20^circ,40^circ,100^circ,140^circ,160^circright$$

Let $u = sin theta$.



$$beginarrayrcl
sin(3theta) &=& 4 sin (theta) sin (2theta) sin (4theta) \
3u - 4u^3 &=& 4 u (2ucostheta) (4ucostheta - 8u^3costheta) \
3u - 4u^3 &=& 4 u (2u) (4u - 8u^3) (1 - u^2) \
3u - 4u^3 &=& 64 u^7 - 96 u^5 + 32 u^3 \
64 u^7 - 96 u^5 + 36 u^3 - 3u &=& 0 \
endarray$$



Since $u ne 0$, let $t = u^2$.



$$64t^3 - 96t^2 + 36t - 3 = 0$$



We depress the cubic by letting $t := x + frac12$:



$$64 x^3 - 12 x - 1 = 0$$



We consider $4(ax)^3 - 3(ax) = (4a^3) x^3 - (3a) x$ and want $a$ such that $4a^3 : -3a = 64 : -12$, i.e. $4a^2 : 3 = 16 : 3$, so we can let $a = 2$.



That means we further let $s := 2x$ and this gives us:



$$4s^3-3s = frac12$$



And then we let $s = cos(varphi)$ which gives us:



$$beginarrayrcl
cos(3varphi) &=& -dfrac12 \
cos(3arccos(s)) &=& -dfrac12 \
cos(3arccos(2x)) &=& -dfrac12 \
cos(3arccos(2t-1)) &=& -dfrac12 \
cos(3arccos(2u^2-1)) &=& -dfrac12 \
cos(3arccos(2(sintheta)^2-1)) &=& -dfrac12 \
cos(3arccos(-cos(2theta))) &=& -dfrac12 \
cos(3(pi-2theta)) &=& -dfrac12 \
cos(6theta) &=& dfrac12 \
endarray$$

    Use that



    $$sin(3x)=3cos(x)^2sin(x)-sin(x)^3$$
    and
    $$sin(4x)=4cos(x)^3sin(x)-4cos(x)sin(x)^3$$

      Using http://mathworld.wolfram.com/WernerFormulas.html,



      $$2sin t(2sin2tsin4t)=2sin t(cos2t-cos6t)$$



      $$sin3t-sin t-2sin tcos6t$$



      So, we have $$sin t(1+2cos6t)=0$$

        There are $8$ solutions, namely
        $$0,quadpiover9,quad2piover9,quad4piover9,quad5piover9,quad7piover9,quad8piover9,quadpi .tag1$$
        In order to arrive at them we write $e^it=:z$. The equation
        $$bigl(f(t):=bigr)quad 4sin tsin(2t)sin(4t)-sin(3t)=0$$
        then appears as $$z^14-z^12+z^8-z^6+z^2-1=0 ,tag2$$ or
        $$(z^2-1)(z^12+z^6+1)=0 .$$
        The first factor gives $zin1,-1$. For the second factor we write $z^6=:w$ and then have to solve $w^2+w+1=0$. It follows that $wine^2pi i/3, >e^-2pi i/3$. For each of these $w$-values we obtain $6$ possible values of $z$ forming a regular hexagon on the unit circle. In all we obtain $14$ different values $z_k$ satisfying $(2)$. Collecting the $z_k$ with argument $t_kinbigl[0,piover2bigr]$ leads to the list $(1)$. Here is a plot of the function $f$. In fact
        $$f(t)=-sin tbigl(2cos(6t)+1bigr) .$$

                                  There are $8$ solutions, namely

                                  In order to arrive at them we write $e^it=:z$. The equation
                                  $$bigl(f(t):=bigr)quad 4sin tsin(2t)sin(4t)-sin(3t)=0$$
                                  then appears as $$z^14-z^12+z^8-z^6+z^2-1=0 ,tag2$$ or
                                  $$(z^2-1)(z^12+z^6+1)=0 .$$
                                  The first factor gives $zin1,-1$. For the second factor we write $z^6=:w$ and then have to solve $w^2+w+1=0$. It follows that $wine^2pi i/3, >e^-2pi i/3$. For each of these $w$-values we obtain $6$ possible values of $z$ forming a regular hexagon on the unit circle. In all we obtain $14$ different values $z_k$ satisfying $(2)$. Collecting the $z_k$ with argument $t_kinbigl[0,piover2bigr]$ leads to the list $(1)$. Here is a plot of the function $f$. In fact
                                  $$f(t)=-sin tbigl(2cos(6t)+1bigr) .$$

                                      There are $8$ solutions, namely
                                      $$0,quadpiover9,quad2piover9,quad4piover9,quad5piover9,quad7piover9,quad8piover9,quadpi .tag1$$
                                      In order to arrive at them we write $e^it=:z$. The equation
                                      $$bigl(f(t):=bigr)quad 4sin tsin(2t)sin(4t)-sin(3t)=0$$
                                      then appears as $$z^14-z^12+z^8-z^6+z^2-1=0 ,tag2$$ or
                                      $$(z^2-1)(z^12+z^6+1)=0 .$$
                                      The first factor gives $zin1,-1$. For the second factor we write $z^6=:w$ and then have to solve $w^2+w+1=0$. It follows that $wine^2pi i/3, >e^-2pi i/3$. For each of these $w$-values we obtain $6$ possible values of $z$ forming a regular hexagon on the unit circle. In all we obtain $14$ different values $z_k$ satisfying $(2)$. Collecting the $z_k$ with argument $t_kinbigl[0,piover2bigr]$ leads to the list $(1)$. Here is a plot of the function $f$. In fact
                                      $$f(t)=-sin tbigl(2cos(6t)+1bigr) .$$
