This one is easier if you work on the right side.

(sin(x-y)/cos(x-y)) / (sin(x+y)/cos(x+y))

(sinxcosy-cosxsiny)/(cosxcosy+sinxsiny)
-------------------------------------
(sinxcosy+cosxsiny)/(cosxcosy-sinxsiny)

Expand those products, and you will be able to factor out some (sin^2+cos^2) and watch it become just like the left side.

Working on the left side first requires you to insert some canceling factors which are not obvious.
