See explanation...

Explanation:

Use the angle sum formula for #sin#...

#sin(A+B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B#

with #A=a+x# and #B=a-x# as follows:

#sin 2a = sin ((a+x)+(a-x))#

#color(white)(sin 2a) = sin(a+x) cos(a-x)+cos(a+x) sin(a-x)#

Its proved

Explanation:

Let a+x= b
a-x= c

#sin(a+x)cos(a-x) + cos(a+x)sin(a-x)#
=#sinb*cosc + cosb*sinc#
We know , #sinx*cosy + cosx*siny =sin(x+y)#

So,#sinb*cosc + cosb*sinc = sin(b+c)#
Put the values of b and c
= sin(a+x+a-x)
= sin(2a)

Hope it helps you
