If I were to do this problem:

1) A + B + C = 180 ............. so sin(A) = sin(B+C)

2) attack Left-hand-side and simplify the numerator and continue.......

Leave the RHS alone for the time being continue to simplify LHS. Tell us what do you get.

I reached cosBcosC=sinBsinC, but I don't know what to do after this. I put tanB as sinB/cosB to get this.
