Factor them and set each of the factors equal to zero. Examples:
(1) cos x(2 sinx -1) = 0
cos x = 0 or sin x = 0.5
x = pi/2, 3 pi/2; pi/6, 5 pi/6
(4) (tanx -3)(tanx +4) = 0
x = tan^-1 (1/3) or tan^-1(-1/4)

My answers above are in radians. You can easily convert them to degrees, if that is what they want.
pi/2 radians it 90 degrees, etc
