Verified below

Using:
#cos(x+y)= cosxcosy-sinxsiny#
#sin2x= 2sinxcosx#
#cos2x= cos^2x-sin^2x= 2cos^2x-1= 1-2sin^2x#

#cos 3t=cos^3 t-3sin² t cos t#

#cos(t+2t)=cos^3 t-3sin² t cos t#

#costcos2t-sintsin2t=cos^3 t-3sin² t cos t#

#costcos2t-sint(2sintcost)=cos^3 t-3sin² t cos t#

#cost(cos^2t-sin^2t)-2sin^2tcost=cos^3 t-3sin² t cos t#

#cos^3t-sin^2tcost-2sin^2tcost=cos^3 t-3sin² t cos t#

#cos^3t-3sin^2tcost=cos^3 t-3sin² t cos t#
