For the following equation, why cannot I not solve it? I keep getting an error.

--
2cosx - 3 = 0
--

I first isolated for "x"
2cosx-3 = 0
(2cosx/2) = (3/2)
x = cos^-1(3/2)
x = error? why?

Make sure you copied the question correctly.
The way it stands
cos x = 3/2 has indeed no solution

(the sine and cosine function does not exceed a value >1 or < -1
