See the steps.

Work Step by Step

$\cos{(x+\dfrac{\pi}{4})}+ \cos{(x-\dfrac{\pi}{4})} = $ $$\cos{x} \cos{\dfrac{\pi}{4}} - \sin{x} \sin{\dfrac{\pi}{4}} + \cos{x} \cos{\dfrac{\pi}{4}} + \sin{x} \sin{\dfrac{\pi}{4}}$$ $LHS = 2 \cos{x} \cos{\dfrac{\pi}{4}} = 2 \cos{x} \times \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2} \cos{x}$ $LHS = RHS$
