Work Step by Step

Let $I=\int_{0}^\pi{xf(\sin(x))}dx$ If $u=\pi-x$ then for $x=0 \to u=\pi$ if $u=\pi-x$ then for $x=\pi \to u=0$ $$du=-dx \to dx=-du$$ $$\begin{align*} I&=-\int_{\pi}^0{(\pi-u)f(\sin(\pi-u))}du\\ &=\int_{0}^\pi {(\pi-u)f(\sin(u))}du\\ &=\pi\int_{0}^\pi { f(\sin(u))}du-\int_{0}^\pi { uf(\sin(u))}du \end{align*}$$ Since $u$ is a variable, replace $u$ by $x$: $$\int_{0}^\pi{xf(\sin(x))}dx=\pi\int_{0}^\pi { f(\sin(x))}dx-\int_{0}^\pi { xf(\sin(x))}dx$$ $$\int_{0}^\pi{xf(\sin(x))}dx+\int_{0}^\pi { xf(\sin(x))}dx=\pi\int_{0}^\pi { f(\sin(x))}dx$$ $$2\int_{0}^\pi{xf(\sin(x))}dx=\pi\int_{0}^\pi { f(\sin(x))}dx$$ $$\int_{0}^\pi{xf(\sin(x))}dx=\frac{\pi}{2}\int_{0}^\pi { f(\sin(x))}dx$$
