Below is the correction to the solution by Edwin. 

sin%282x%29+%22%22=%22%22+1                                Correct.

2x%22%22=%22%22pi%2F2%2B2pi%2An                             Correct.

x%22%22=%22%22pi%2F4%2Bpi%2An                               Correct.

x%22%22=%22%22%281%2F4%2Bn%29pi                              Correct.

x%22%22=%22%22%281%2F4%2Bn%2F4%29pi                              Incorrect.

x%22%22=%22%22%28%28n%2B1%29%2F4%29pi, where n is any integer     Incorrect.
