1 + sin (x) - 2*sin (x) + a*sin (x) - 2*a = 1
$$- 2 a + \left(a \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \left(\left(\sin^{4}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) - 2 \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)\right) = 1$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$- 2 a + \left(a \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \left(\left(\sin^{4}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) - 2 \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)\right) = 1$$
transform
$$- a \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} - a + \cos^{4}{\left(x \right)} - 1 = 0$$
$$\left(- 2 a + \left(a \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \left(\left(\sin^{4}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) - 2 \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)\right)\right) - 1 = 0$$
Do replacement
$$w = \sin{\left(x \right)}$$
Given the equation:
$$a w^{2} - 2 a + w^{4} - 2 w^{2} = 0$$
Do replacement
$$v = w^{2}$$
then the equation will be the:
$$- 2 a + v^{2} + v \left(a - 2\right) = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*v^2 + b*v + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$v_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$v_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = a - 2$$
$$c = - 2 a$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-2 + a)^2 - 4 * (1) * (-2*a) = (-2 + a)^2 + 8*a

The equation has two roots.
v1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

v2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$v_{1} = - \frac{a}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1$$
$$v_{2} = - \frac{a}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1$$
The final answer:
Because
$$v = w^{2}$$
then
$$w_{1} = \sqrt{v_{1}}$$
$$w_{2} = - \sqrt{v_{1}}$$
$$w_{3} = \sqrt{v_{2}}$$
$$w_{4} = - \sqrt{v_{2}}$$
then:
$$w_{1} = $$
$$\frac{\left(- \frac{a}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}{1} + \frac{0}{1} = \sqrt{- \frac{a}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1}$$
$$w_{2} = $$
$$\frac{\left(-1\right) \left(- \frac{a}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}{1} + \frac{0}{1} = - \sqrt{- \frac{a}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1}$$
$$w_{3} = $$
$$\frac{\left(- \frac{a}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}{1} + \frac{0}{1} = \sqrt{- \frac{a}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1}$$
$$w_{4} = $$
$$\frac{\left(-1\right) \left(- \frac{a}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}{1} + \frac{0}{1} = - \sqrt{- \frac{a}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1}$$

$$\sin{\left(x \right)} = w$$
Given the equation
$$\sin{\left(x \right)} = w$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
This equation is transformed to
$$x = 2 \pi n + \operatorname{asin}{\left(w \right)}$$
$$x = 2 \pi n - \operatorname{asin}{\left(w \right)} + \pi$$
Or
$$x = 2 \pi n + \operatorname{asin}{\left(w \right)}$$
$$x = 2 \pi n - \operatorname{asin}{\left(w \right)} + \pi$$
, where n - is a integer
substitute w:
$$x_{1} = 2 \pi n + \operatorname{asin}{\left(w_{1} \right)}$$
$$x_{1} = 2 \pi n + \operatorname{asin}{\left(- \frac{a}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1 \right)}$$
$$x_{1} = 2 \pi n + \operatorname{asin}{\left(- \frac{a}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1 \right)}$$
$$x_{2} = 2 \pi n + \operatorname{asin}{\left(w_{2} \right)}$$
$$x_{2} = 2 \pi n + \operatorname{asin}{\left(- \frac{a}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1 \right)}$$
$$x_{2} = 2 \pi n - \operatorname{asin}{\left(\frac{a}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} - 1 \right)}$$
$$x_{3} = 2 \pi n - \operatorname{asin}{\left(w_{1} \right)} + \pi$$
$$x_{3} = 2 \pi n - \operatorname{asin}{\left(- \frac{a}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1 \right)} + \pi$$
$$x_{3} = 2 \pi n - \operatorname{asin}{\left(- \frac{a}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1 \right)} + \pi$$
$$x_{4} = 2 \pi n - \operatorname{asin}{\left(w_{2} \right)} + \pi$$
$$x_{4} = 2 \pi n - \operatorname{asin}{\left(- \frac{a}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} + 1 \right)} + \pi$$
$$x_{4} = 2 \pi n + \operatorname{asin}{\left(\frac{a}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{8 a + \left(a - 2\right)^{2}}}{2} - 1 \right)} + \pi$$
