sinx = 2 -sinx
sinx + sinx = 2
2sinx = 2
sinx = 1
Use what you have memorized about the unit circle.
The answer occurs when x = π/2 + 2kπ where k is any integer

Add sinx to both sides:
2sinx = 2
Divide by 2:
sinx = 1
arcsin 1 = x
x = 1.57079633
2sinx = 2
Divide by 2:
sinx = 1
arcsin 1 = x
x = 1.57079633

sinx and -2sinx have the same period, so they will equal each other when they both equal 0, which is:
x=n*pi where n is any integer.
x=n*pi where n is any integer.
