I will rewrite the question as:
1/(sec(x)-tan(x)) - 1/cos(x) = 1/(cos(x) - 1/(sec(x)+tan(x))
transpose terms to get:
1/(sec(x)-tan(x)) + 1/(sec(x)+tan(x)) = 2/cos(x)
Add the two fractions on the left and simplify using sec<sup>2</sup>(x)=1+tan<sup>2</sup>(x) on the left-hand side to get 2sec(x)=2/cos(x).
1/(sec(x)-tan(x)) - 1/cos(x) = 1/(cos(x) - 1/(sec(x)+tan(x))
transpose terms to get:
1/(sec(x)-tan(x)) + 1/(sec(x)+tan(x)) = 2/cos(x)
Add the two fractions on the left and simplify using sec<sup>2</sup>(x)=1+tan<sup>2</sup>(x) on the left-hand side to get 2sec(x)=2/cos(x).
