(sin(x + y) + sin(x - y))/(cos(x + y) + cos(x - y)) = tan(x)

((sin(x)cos(y) + cos(x)sin(y)) + (sin(x)cos(y) - cos(x)sin(y)))/((cos(x)cos(y) - sin(x)sin(y)) + (cos(x)cos(y) + sin(x)sin(y))) = tan(x)

((sin(x)cos(y) + sin(x)cos(y)) + (cos(x)sin(y) - cos(x)sin(y)))/((cos(x)cos(y) + cos(x)cos(y)) + (-sin(x)sin(y) + (sin(x)sin(y))) = tan(x)

(2sin(x)cos(y))/(2cos(x)cos(y)) = tan(x)

(sin(x))/(cos(x)) = tan(x)
