Differential equations — practice question

The variables $x$ and $y$ obey the differential equation $\cos 2x\,\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{4\tan 2x}{\sin^2 3y}$, with $0 \le x < \frac{1}{4}\pi$. Also, $y = 0$ when $x = \frac{1}{6}\pi$.

Solve the differential equation to determine the value of $x$ when $y = \frac{1}{6}\pi$. Give your answer correct to 3 decimal places.
