find all solutions of 7 sin^2 x - 14 sin x + 2 = -5

OpenStudy (mathmale):

It may not be immediately obvious, but this is a quadratic equation. Substituting y for sin x, we have 7y^2 - 14y + 7 = 0 You could simplify this further by dividing all 4 terms by 7. Try it and see what happens. Your result?
