    Tanx/secx-1=secx+1/tanx
    My question is to make the right side equal the left side

    What you wrote is incorrect. You wrote this:



    You must learn to use parentheses to avoid mistakes like that. I suspect what you really meant is this:

    tanx/(secx -1) = (secx + 1)/tanx

    Hint: start by cross-multiplying the fractions on the left and right hand sides, then replace the secx and tanx functions with their sine and cosine equivalents.
