well you can try rewriting it to this

answer is d 270

first start of by factoring and subtracting the 1 into the right side

sin(x) ( 2 sin (x) + 1) = -1

set each one equal to -1

sin( x) = -1 and 2 sin (x) +1 = -1

2 sin (x) = -2
sin ( x) = -1
so therefore we have our final equation

sin ( x ) = - 1 and sin (x) = -1

so then you look in your unit circle and find what coordinate equals -1 in terms of sin x
