I don't think what you wrote is correct

sin(x + y) = sin(x)cos(y) + sin(y)cos(x)

replacing cos(y) and sin(y) with their equivalent expressions from the given equations, we can write sin(x + y) in terms of sin(x)cos(x). But the answer you gave won't be the right one.

Yeah made a mistake.

ok, well, do as i said and you will get the answer.
