I can't figure out why the following does not evaulate to TRUE:

In[100]:= \[ExponentialE]^(-\[ImaginaryI] x) + \[ExponentialE]^(\
\[ImaginaryI] x) == 2 TrigToExp[Cos[x]]

Out[100]= \[ExponentialE]^(-\[ImaginaryI] x) + \[ExponentialE]^(\
\[ImaginaryI] x) ==
 2 (\[ExponentialE]^(-\[ImaginaryI] x)/
    2 + \[ExponentialE]^(\[ImaginaryI] x)/2)

Any ideas?
