Solution

L.H.S. = `(sin5x - 2sin3x + sinx)/(cos5x - cosx)` 

= `((sin5x + sinx) - 2sin3x)/(cos5x - cosx)`

= `(2sin((5x + x)/2)*cos((5x - x)/2)-2sin3x)/(-2sin((5x + x)/2)*sin((5x - x)/2)`

= `(2sin3x*cos2x - 2sin3x)/(-2sin3x*sin2x)`

= `(2sin3x(cos2x - 1))/(-2sin3x*sin2x)`

= `(1 - cos2x)/(sin2x)`

= `(2sin^2x)/(2sinx cosx)`

= `sinx/cosx`

= tanx

= R.H.S.
