    As usual for any equations that have secant and cosecant, replace them with their sine and cosine equivalents. Then try and simplify. You should end up with an equation that involves just cos(x) and x. But to solve that, you'll need to use an approximation techniques such as Newton's method.

I have a couple problems I cannot solve, please help me! 1. tan(x)/sec(x) + cot(x)/csc(x) =sin(x)+cos(x) 2 (1-tan(x))^2 = sec^2(x) - 2tan(x) 3. sin(x)/csc(x)-1 + sin(x)/csc(x)+1 = 2tan^2(x) 4. sin(x) = tan(x)-1
