Given :

sin a + sin b = x
sin a = x - sin b

Square both sides,

sin² a = (x - sin b)²
sin² a = x² - 2x sin b + sin² b ①

Given :
cos a + cos b = x
cos a = x - cos b

Square both sides,

cos² a = (x - cos b)²
cos² a = x² - 2x cos b + cos² b ②


① + ②

sin² a + cos² a = x² - 2x sin b + sin² b + x² - 2x cos b + cos² b

sin² a + cos² a = 2x² - 2x(sin b + cos b) + sin² b + cos² b

1 = 2x² - 2x(sin b + cos b) + 1

(Recall the property sin² θ + cos² θ = 1)

2x² - 2x(sin b + cos b) = 0

Since x ≠ 0, we can divide throughout by 2x.

x - (sin b + cos b) = 0

x = sin b + cos b
