You don't solve it.
You determine whether the 2 sides are equal.
---------
Change it all to sines and cosines and simplify it.

(1+sec(-θ))/(sin(-θ)+tan(-θ))=(1-sec(θ))/(sin(θ)-tan(θ))
**
sec(-θ)=sec(θ)
sin(-θ)=-sin(θ)
tan(-θ)=-tan(θ)
starting with left side
(1+sec(-θ))/(sin(-θ)+tan(-θ))
[1+sec(θ)]/-sin(θ)-tan(θ)
[1+sec(θ)]/-[sin(θ)+tan(θ)]≠right side
Identity cannot be verified
