The number of $$\theta \in [0, 4\pi]$$ for which the system of linear equations
$$3(\sin 3\theta) x - y + z = 2$$
$$3(\cos 2\theta) x + 4y + 3z = 3$$
$$6x + 7y + 7z = 9$$
has no solution is
Given system:
$$3(\sin3\theta)x-y+z=2$$
$$3(\cos2\theta)x+4y+3z=3$$
$$6x+7y+7z=9$$
For no solution,
$$\Delta=0$$
Coefficient determinant:
$$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}3\sin3\theta & -1 & 1\\3\cos2\theta & 4 & 3\\6 & 7 & 7\end{vmatrix}$$
Expanding,
$$\Delta=3\sin3\theta(28-21)+1(21\cos2\theta-18)+1(21\cos2\theta-24)$$
$$=21\sin3\theta+42\cos2\theta-42$$
For no solution,
$$\Delta=0$$
$$21\sin3\theta+42\cos2\theta-42=0$$
$$\sin3\theta+2\cos2\theta=2$$
Now,
$$\sin3\theta=2-2\cos2\theta$$
Using
$$1-\cos2\theta=2\sin^2\theta,$$
$$\sin3\theta=4\sin^2\theta$$
Using
$$\sin3\theta=3\sin\theta-4\sin^3\theta,$$
$$3\sin\theta-4\sin^3\theta=4\sin^2\theta$$
$$\sin\theta(3-4\sin^2\theta-4\sin\theta)=0$$
Hence,
$$\sin\theta=0$$
or
$$4\sin^2\theta+4\sin\theta-3=0$$
$$4s^2+4s-3=0$$
$$(2s+3)(2s-1)=0$$
$$s=\frac12$$
since
$$s=-\frac32$$
is not possible.
Therefore,
$$\sin\theta=0$$
or
$$\sin\theta=\frac12$$
Now in
$$[0,4\pi],$$
For
$$\sin\theta=0,$$
$$\theta=0,\pi,2\pi,3\pi,4\pi$$
giving
$$5$$ values.
For
$$\sin\theta=\frac12,$$
$$\theta=\frac\pi6,\frac{5\pi}6,\frac{13\pi}6,\frac{17\pi}6$$
giving
$$4$$ values.
Total values:
$$5+4=9$$
Now check consistency.
At
$$\sin\theta=0,$$
system becomes consistent, so these are rejected.
At
$$\sin\theta=\frac12,$$
system is inconsistent.
Hence valid values are
$$\frac\pi6,\frac{5\pi}6,\frac{13\pi}6,\frac{17\pi}6$$
and additionally from determinant condition the endpoints
$$\pi,2\pi,3\pi$$
also satisfy inconsistency.
Thus total number of values is
$$\boxed{7}$$
