Since the right hand side is more elaborate, we will modify the right hand side to match that of the left hand side...see below

Explanation:

#2tanx(sinx+cosx)=secx(1+sin2x-cos2x)#

Double angle for sin and cos:
#sin2x= 2sinxcosx#
#cos2x= 1-2sin^2x#

#2tanx(sinx+cosx)=secx(1+(2sinxcosx)-(1-2sin^2x))=#

#2tanx(sinx+cosx)=secx(cancel(1)+2sinxcosxcancel(-1)+2sin^2x)#

Apply the reciprocal identity:
#secx= 1/cosx#

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

Distribute:
#2tanx(sinx+cosx)=(2sinxcosx)/(cosx)+(2sin^2x)/cosx#

#2tanx(sinx+cosx)=(2sinxcosx+2sin^2x)/cosx#

GCF:
#2tanx(sinx+cosx)=(2sinx(cosx+sinx))/cosx#

Quotient Indentity:
#tanx=sinx/cosx#

Therefore:
#2tanx(sinx+cosx)=2tanx(sinx+cosx)#
