2sin^2(x) = sinx
we switch sinx from left to right and take sinx in front of brackets.

sinx*(2sinx - 1) = 0

now we need to solve 2 cases.
first:

sinx = 0
that is for x = 0 and x = pi

second:
2sinx - 1 = 0
2sinx = 1
sinx = 1/2
x = pi/6 or 5pi/6

the case we had here is something like a*b=0 so either a=0 or b=0 thats why we solved problem this way.

At the end comparing our results with options we can see that answer is third option.
