Can you help with the proof for the cosine angle sum identity?

So for math, we are to come up with the proof for the cosine angle sum identity, i.e. Cos (A+B)= CosA*CosB - SinA*SinB.

To do this, we are only allowed to use the following identities:
1. Sin(A+B)= SinA*CosB + CosA*SinB
2. CosX= Sin(90-X)
3. SinX= Cos (90-X)
4. Cos (-X)= CosX
5. Sin (-X)= -SinX

Could someone please help!? I am so confused on how to do this... the teach gave us a hint and told us to start from here, but I am not sure what to do next:

Cos(A+B)= Sin (90-A-B)

Thank you so much!!!
