Let [tex]t=\sin(x)[/tex]. The equation becomes

[tex]t^2-2t=0 \iff t(t-2)=0[/tex]

So, the solutions are

[tex]t=0,\quad t-2=0 \iff t=2[/tex]

Substitute back [tex]t=\sin(x)[/tex], we have

[tex]\sin(x)=0,\quad \sin(x)=2[/tex]

Since the sine function is bounded between -1 and 1, it can never equal 2. So, the only possible solution is

[tex]\sin(x)=0 \iff x = k\pi,\quad k \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex]

Depending on the interval you're interested in (you didn't write it!) select the solution(s) that applies(apply)
