Answer

$\frac{\pi}{3}$, $\frac{5\pi}{3}$

Work Step by Step

$2\tan (\frac{x}{2})-\csc x=0$ $2*\frac{1-\cos x}{\sin x}-\frac{1}{\sin x}=0$ Multiply both sides by $\sin x$: $2(1-\cos x)-1=0$ $2-2\cos x-1=0$ $1-2\cos x=0$ $2\cos x=1$ $\cos x=\frac{1}{2}$ The only solutions in $[0, 2\pi)$ are $\frac{\pi}{3}$ and $\frac{5\pi}{3}$.
