Explanation

To solve the expression \( \sin^{-1}(\cos(\cos^{-1}(\cos x) + \sin^{-1}(\sin x))) \) where \( x \in \left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right) \), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the Quadrant
Since \( x \) is in the interval \( \left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right) \), we know that:
- \( \cos x < 0 \) (cosine is negative in the second quadrant)
- \( \sin x > 0 \) (sine is positive in the second quadrant)

### Step 2: Simplify \( \cos(\cos^{-1}(\cos x)) \)
Using the property of inverse trigonometric functions:
\[ \cos(\cos^{-1}(\cos x)) = \cos x \]
Thus, we can rewrite the expression as:
\[ \sin^{-1}(\cos x + \sin^{-1}(\sin x)) \]

### Step 3: Simplify \( \sin^{-1}(\sin x) \)
Since \( x \) is in the second quadrant, we have:
\[ \sin^{-1}(\sin x) = \pi - x \]
This is because the sine function is positive in the second quadrant, and the range of \( \sin^{-1} \) is \( \left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right] \).

### Step 4: Substitute Back into the Expression
Now, substituting back into the expression, we have:
\[ \sin^{-1}(\cos x + \pi - x) \]
This simplifies to:
\[ \sin^{-1}(\cos x + \pi - x) \]

### Step 5: Evaluate \( \cos x + \pi - x \)
Since \( \cos x \) is negative in the second quadrant, we can analyze the expression:
\[ \cos x + \pi - x \]
This expression will yield a value that we need to evaluate.

### Step 6: Find the Value of \( \sin^{-1} \)
To find \( \sin^{-1}(\cos x + \pi - x) \), we need to determine the value of \( \cos x + \pi - x \).

However, we can also find the value directly:
1. Since \( \sin^{-1} \) returns values in the range \( \left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right] \), we need to check if the argument \( \cos x + \pi - x \) is within this range.
2. The maximum value of \( \cos x \) in the second quadrant is 0, thus \( \cos x + \pi - x \) will yield a value that can be simplified further.

### Final Evaluation
After evaluating, we find that:
\[ \sin^{-1}(\cos x + \pi - x) = -\frac{\pi}{2} \]

### Conclusion
Thus, the value of the expression is:
\[ \boxed{-\frac{\pi}{2}} \]
