Answer:

x = 0, π/2, π

Explanation:

One can only divide by a value that is non-zero. The division is invalid when sin(x) = 0, at x = 0 or π.

The equation should have been factored.

sin²(x) -sin(x) = 0

sin(x)(sin(x) -1) = 0

The zero product rule tells us the product will be zero for either factor being zero:

sin(x) = 0 ⇒ x = 0, π

sin(x) -1 = 0 ⇒ x = π/2

The solutions are ...

x ∈ {0, π/2, π}
