\[\frac{7\pi}{12} + \cos\frac{\pi}{12} = \sin\frac{5\pi}{12} - \sin\frac{\pi}{12}\]

Solution

\[105^\circ = \frac{7\pi}{12}, 15^\circ = \frac{\pi}{12}, 75^\circ = \frac{5\pi}{12}, 15^\circ = \frac{\pi}{12}\]
LHS = cos105o + cos15o
        = cos(90o + 15o) + cos(90- 75o)
        = - sin 15o + sin 75o [As cos(90o+A) = - sin A and cos(90o- B) = sin B]
        = sin 75o- sin 15o
        = RHS
Hence proved.
