#color(maroon)(x = 0 , color(crimson)(x = pi/3# or #color(crimson )(60^@#

#sin 2x - sin x = 0#

#=> 2 sin x cos x - sin x = 0#

#=> sin x * (2 cos x - 1) = 0#

#=> sin x = 0, cos x = 1/2#

#color(maroon)(x = 0 , color(crimson)(x = pi/3# or #color(crimson )(60^@#

# x = 180^circ k or x= \pm 60^circ + 360^circ k quad # integer #k#

#sin 2x - sin x = 0#

#2 sin x cos x - sin x = 0#

#sin x (2 cos x -1) = 0#

#sin x = 0 or cos x = 1/2 #

# x = 180^circ k or x= \pm 60^circ + 360^circ k quad # integer #k#
