Please see below.

#(1+cotx)/cscx-secx/(tanx+cotx)#

= #(1+cosx/sinx)/(1/sinx)-(1/cosx)/(sinx/cosx+cosx/sinx)#

= #(sinx+cosx)-(1/cosx)/((sin^2x+cos^2x)/(sinxcosx)#

mutiplying numerator and denominator in first term by #sinx#

= #(sinx+cosx)-(1/cosx)/(1/(sinxcosx)#

= #(sinx+cosx)-1/cosx xxsinxcosx#

= #sinx+cosx-sinx#

= #cosx#
