%28tan%28theta%29-3%29%2825sin%5E2%28theta%29-1%29=0

The second factor can be factored as a difference of squares:

%28tan%28theta%29-3%29%285sin%28theta%29%2B1%29%285sin%28theta%29-1%29=0

Then

tan%28theta%29=3 or sin%28theta%29=-1%2F5 or sin%28theta%29=1%2F5

Use a calculator if you need to get the answers in terms of angles.
