Answer

See the steps.

Work Step by Step

$\sin{(\dfrac{\pi}{6}+x)} = \sin{\dfrac{\pi}{6}} \cos{x} + \cos{\dfrac{\pi}{6}}\sin{x}$ $\sin{(\dfrac{\pi}{6}-x)} = \sin{\dfrac{\pi}{6}} \cos{x} - \cos{\dfrac{\pi}{6}}\sin{x}$ $LHS = \sin{(\dfrac{\pi}{6}+x)} +\sin{(\dfrac{\pi}{6}-x)} = $ $$\sin{\dfrac{\pi}{6}} \cos{x} + \cos{\dfrac{\pi}{6}}\sin{x}+\sin{\dfrac{\pi}{6}} \cos{x} - \cos{\dfrac{\pi}{6}}\sin{x}$$ $LHS = 2 \sin{\dfrac{\pi}{6}} \cos{x} = 2 \times \dfrac{1}{2} \cos{x} = \cos{x}$ $LHS = RHS$
