    For problems like this it's often best to start by changing the original equation into a form consisting of only sine and cosine. Then simplify as best you can. I'll get you started:

    csc x - sin x = 1/(sin x) - sin x.

    Now multiply through by sin x/sin x:

    [1 - (sin x)^2]/sin x.

    You should be familiar with the expression 1 - (sinx)^2 is equal to. Can you take it from here?
