The correct answer is: 13

Given trigonometric equation is sin9x+sin3x=0



 2sin6xcos3x=0



 either sin6x=0



or cos3x=0



for x0,2π



sin6x=0



 x=0, π6, π3, π2, 2π3, 5π6, π, 7π6, 4π3, 3π2, 5π3, 2π



and 3x=0



 x=π6, π2, 5π6, 7π6, 3π2, 11π6



So, number of solution of given equation is 13.
