see below

#sin(2theta)/sin theta - cos(2theta)/cos theta = sec theta#

Left Side: #=sin(2theta)/sin theta - cos(2theta)/cos theta#

#=(2sin theta cos theta)/sin theta - (2cos^2theta-1)/cos theta#

#=2cos theta-(2cos^2theta/cos theta-1/cos theta)#

#=2cos theta-2cos theta+1/cos theta#

#=1/cos theta#

#=sec theta#

#=# Right Side
