Solving,

cos x=12×3232×12cos x=3434cos x=0cos x=cos 90°x=90°.\Rightarrow \text{cos x} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \dfrac{1}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{cos x} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4} - \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{cos x} = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{cos x} = \text{cos 90°} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 90°.

Hence, x = 90°.
