See Below.

Explanation:

Identities Required:
#sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x)#

#sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1#
#sin^2(x)=1-cos^2(x)#

#cos(2x)=cos^2(x)-sin^2(x) =cos^2(x)-(1-cos^2(x))=2cos^2(x)-1#

Now solving:
#sin(2x)/sin(x)-cos(2x)/cos(x)=sec(x)#
#(2sin(x)cos(x))/sin(x)-(2cos^2(x)-1)/cos(x)=RHS#
#2cos(x)-2cos(x)+1/cos(x)=RHS#
#sec(x)=RHS#
