Start by isolating the tangent term in the equation: 3\(\tan\[\theta\) - 7 = -6. Add 7 to both sides to get 3\(\tan\]\theta\) = 1.
Divide both sides by 3 to solve for \(\tan\[\theta\): \(\tan\]\theta\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\).
Recall that the general solution for \(\tan\)\(\theta\) = a is \(\theta\) = \(\arctan\)(a) + \(\pi\) n, where n is an integer, because the tangent function has a period of \(\pi\).
Calculate \(\arctan\)(\(\frac{1}{3}\)) to find the principal value of \(\theta\). This gives \(\theta\) = \(\frac{\pi}{6}\) as one solution.
Since the period of the tangent function is \(\pi\), the general solution is \(\theta\) = \(\frac{\pi}{6}\) + \(\pi\) n, where n is an integer.
