    I suspect that should be shown as :-

    3 sin²x - 7 sin x + 2 = 0

    [ 3 sin x - 1 ] [ sin x - 2 ] = 0

    sin x = 1/3

    x = 0•34 radians , 2•8 radians

    You need to use ^ to indicate an exponent, e.g., 3sin^2x = 3sin²x

    3sin²x - 7sinx + 2 = 0

    quadratic formula

    sin(x) = [7 ± √(7² – 4·3·2)] / [2·3]

     = [7 ± √25] / 6

     = [7 ± 5] /6

     = 2, ⅓
