We have

${\text{L}}{\text{.H}}{\text{.S}}{\text{. }} = \frac{1}{2}\left[ {2\cos 2x\cos \frac{x}{2} - 2\cos \frac{{9x}}{2}\cos 3x} \right]$

$ = {1}{2}[ \cos \left( {2x + \frac{x}{2}} \right) + \cos \left( {2x - \frac{x}{2}} \right)$

$ - \cos \left( {\frac{{9x}}{2} + 3x} \right) - \cos \left( {\frac{{9x}}{2} - 3x} \right) $

$ = \frac{1}{2}\left[ {\cos \frac{{5x}}{2} + \cos \frac{{3x}}{2} - \cos \frac{{15x}}{2} - \cos \frac{{3x}}{2}} \right]$

$ = \frac{1}{2}\left[ {\cos \frac{{5x}}{2} - \cos \frac{{15x}}{2}} \right]$

$ = \frac{1}{2}\left[ { - 2\sin \left\{ {\frac{{\frac{{5x}}{2} + \frac{{15x}}{2}}}{2}} \right\}\sin \left\{ {\frac{{\frac{{5x}}{2} - \frac{{15x}}{2}}}{2}} \right\}} \right]$

$ =  - \sin 5x\sin \left( { - \frac{{5x}}{2}} \right)$

$ = \sin 5x\sin \frac{{5x}}{2} = R.H.S.$
