#{x|x in RR}#

Explanation:

The double angle identity for sine is:
#sin 2x = 2sinxcosx#

Notice that this is the same as the equation you are trying to solve.
This means that that equation is an identity, which is always true for all values of #x# in its domain.

The domain of the #sin# and #cos# functions is #RR#.

Thus, the solutions for the equation #sin 2x = 2sinxcosx# are:

#{x|x in RR}#
