See the steps.

Work Step by Step

$\cos{(\dfrac{\pi}{3}+x)} + \cos{(\dfrac{\pi}{3}-x)} = $ $$\cos{\dfrac{\pi}{3}} \cos{x} - \sin{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}\sin{x} + \cos{\dfrac{\pi}{3}} \cos{x} + \sin{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}\sin{x} $$ $LHS = 2 \cos{\dfrac{\pi}{3}} \cos{x} = 2 \times \dfrac{1}{2} \cos{x} = \cos{x}$ $LHS = RHS$
