Given

secx+tanx=22/7.......[1]

Again we know

sec^2x-tan^2x=1.......[2]

Dividing [2] by [1] we get

secx-tanx=7/22..........[3]

Adding [1] and [2] we get

2secx=22/7+7/22=(484+49)/154=533/154

=>secx=533/308

Subtracting [2] from [1] we get

2tanx=22/7-7/22=(484-49)/154=435/154

=>tanx=435/308

So cotx=1/tanx=308/435

cscx=secx/tanx=(533/308)/(435/308)=533/435

Hence
cscx+cotx=533/435+308/435=841/435
