#tanx=sinx/cosx# so you can use identities to get to a point where the sin/cos parts can be written as tans.

Explanation:

#(1-cscx)/(1-cscx)=1# so first of all it's just multiplying #cosx/(1+cscx)# by one.

Now to look at the first part:
write it as #cosx/1*1/(1+cscx)#

Then #1+cscx=1+1/sinx :. 1/(1+cscx) = (sinx)/(sinx+1)#

Recombining with that #cos(x)# that I put aside:
#(cosx*sinx)/(sinx+1)#

#sinx/(tanx+1)# is the closest I can get.

I'm not quite sure why you say the answer should be #tanx-tanxsinx#. When I check with Wolfram http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(cosx%2F(1%2Bcscx)+ the answer isn't #tanx-tanxsinx# either. Are you sure that you've entered the question correctly?
