    Step-by-step explanation:

    Using the Addition / Subtraction formulae for cosine

    Consider the left side

    cos (x - y) - cos (x + y)

    = cosxcosy + sinxsiny - (cosxcosy - sinxsiny) ← distribute

    = cosxcosy + sinxsiny - cosxcosy + sinxsiny ← collect like terms

    = 2sinxsiny = right side ⇒ proven
