we can factor the whole thing:

(2sin(x) -1)(sin(x)+1) = 0.

Therefore, sin(x) = -1 and sin(x) = 1/2.

For the first one x = 3π/2 and the second is π/6 and 5π/6

So 3π/2, π/6 and 5π/6 are the solutions.

I do kind of have a problem with this because it doesn't mention if you should go over 360°. Otherwise, you have to add in an 2nπ into the equations like 3π/2 + 2nπ;
n \in \mathbb{W}

but I don't know if that is necessary for you.
