let t=(x/2)>0  sin^(−1)  (2t)=((2π)/3)−sin^(−1) t  2t=sin (((2π)/3)−sin^(−1) t)=((√3)/2) cos (sin^(−1) t)+(1/2)t  3t=(√3) cos (sin^(−1) t)  3t=(√(3(1−t^2 )))  9t^2 =3(1−t^2 )  t^2 =(1/4)  t=(1/2)  ⇒x=1

x=((√(21))/7) is not a solution of  sin^(−1) x+sin^(−1) (x/2)=((2π)/3),  but a solution of  sin^(−1) x+sin^(−1) (x/2)=(π/3).  this is due to your step 1. because  sin ((2π)/3)=sin (π/3)=(1/2).
