0, pi/3, pi, (5pi)/3, 2pi0,π3,π,5π3,2π

Explanation:

Trig table of special arcs, and unit circle -->
tan x.csc x - 2tan x = 0
tan x(csc x - 2) = 0
One of the 2 factors should be 0 -->
a. tan x = 0 -->
arc x = 0, and x = pi, and x = 2pix=π,andx=2π
b. csc x = 1/(cos x) = 2cscx=1cosx=2
cos x = 1/2cosx=12-->
Arc x = +- pi/3x=±π3
Note: arc -pi/3π3 --> arc (5pi)/35π3 (co-terminal)
