Let us start with the LHS:

LHS = ((sintheta+costheta)/sintheta)-((costheta-sintheta)/costheta)

" " = ((sintheta+costheta)costheta-(costheta-sintheta)sintheta)/(sinthetacostheta)

" " = ((sinthetacostheta+cos^2theta)-(costhetasintheta-sin^2theta))/(sinthetacostheta)

" " = (sinthetacostheta+cos^2theta-costhetasintheta+sin^2theta)/(sinthetacostheta)

" " = (cos^2theta+sin^2theta)/(sinthetacostheta)

" " = (1)/(sinthetacostheta)

" " = 1/sintheta*1/costheta

" " = csctheta*sectheta

" " = RHS \ \ \ \ QED

LHS=(sintheta+costheta)/sintheta-(costheta-sintheta)/costheta

=sintheta/sintheta+costheta/sintheta-costheta/costheta+sintheta/costheta

=cancel1+costheta/sintheta-cancel1+sintheta/costheta

=(cos^2theta+sin^2theta)/(sinthetacostheta)

=1/(sinthetacostheta)

=secthetacsctheta=RHS
