cos[(n+1)x]sin[(n+2)x]+cos[(n+1)x]cos[(n+2)x] = cos(x)

Let A = (n+1)x = nx+x

let B = (n+2)x = nx+2x

Then B-A = (nx+2x)-(nx+x) = nx+2x-nx-x = x

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


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


cos(A)sin(B) = sin(B)sin(A)

cos(A)sin(B) - sin(B)sin(A) = 0

sin(B)[cos(A)-sin(A)} = 0


sin(B) = 0;             cos(A)-sin(A) = 0
                        -sin(A) = -cos(A)
B = P%2Api;               sin(A) = cos(A)
where P is any integer  sin%28A%29%2Fcos%28A%29%22%22=%22%22cos%28A%29%2Fcos%28A%29
(n+2)x = P%2Api;          tan(A) = 1 
x = P%2Api%2F%28n%2B2%29               A = pi%2F4%2BQ%2Api 
                        A = expr%28%281%2B4Q%29%2F4%29pi
                        where Q is any integer
                        n(x+1) = expr%28%281%2B4Q%29%2F4%29pi
                        x+1 = expr%28%281%2B4Q%29%2F%284n%29%29pi
                        x = expr%28%281%2B4Q%29%2F%284n%29%29pi-1
