Smartest Way of Solving Hardest Trigonometric Equation

Solve the trigonometric equation.

$\sqrt{2} \cos \left(\dfrac{x}{5}-\dfrac{\pi }{12}\right)-\sqrt{6}\sin \left(\dfrac{x}{5}-\dfrac{\pi}{12}\right)=2\left(\sin \left((\dfrac{x}{5}-\dfrac{2\pi}{3}\right)-\sin \left((\dfrac{3x}{5}+\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right)\right)$

An excellent observation and hence sublimely insightful solution provided by one mathematicans from the England:
