Answer

$\dfrac{\pi}{6}, \dfrac{5\pi}{6}$

Work Step by Step

We have $ \sin (x +\pi) -\sin x+1=1-2 \sin x=0$ After simplifying, we get $ \sin x \cos \pi +\cos x \sin \pi -\sin x+1=1-2 \sin x=0$ or, $\sin x-\sin x+1=1-2 \sin x=0$ or, $1= 2 \sin x$ or, $\sin x=\dfrac{1}{2}$ This yields: $ x=\dfrac{\pi}{6}, \dfrac{5\pi}{6}$
