trigonometry - Proving the identity: $sin3x + sin x = 2sin2xcos x$




I need some help proving this identity:



$$\sin3x + \sin x = 2\sin2x\cos x$$



I don't know where to start. I thought about expanding $\sin 3x$ into $\sin (2x + x)$ but I don't think that does me any good. Any hints would be appreciated.



Thanks!


Answer



Consider $\sin(2x + x)$ and $\sin(2x-x)$.
