Answer

See below.

Work Step by Step

Use the Sum-to-Product Formula, we have: $LHS=sin\theta[sin(3\theta)+sin(5\theta)]=sin\theta[2sin(\frac{3\theta+5\theta}{2})cos(\frac{3\theta-5\theta}{2})] =2sin\theta sin(4\theta)cos(\theta)=sin(2\theta)sin(4\theta)$ $RHS=cos\theta[cos(3\theta)-cos(5\theta)]=cos\theta[-2sin(\frac{3\theta+5\theta}{2})sin(\frac{3\theta-5\theta}{2})] =2cos\theta sin(4\theta)sin(\theta)= sin(2\theta)sin(4\theta)=LHS$
