Using simpler trigonometric identities, the given identity was proven below.

<h3>How to solve the trigonometric identity?</h3>

Remember that:

sec(x) = \frac{1}{cos(x)} \\\\tan(x) = \frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}

Then the identity can be rewritten as:

sec^4(x) - sen^2(x) = tan^4(x) + tan^2(x)\\\\\frac{1}{cos^4(x)} - \frac{1}{cos^2(x)}  = \frac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)}  + \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)} \\\\

Now we can multiply both sides by cos⁴(x) to get:

\frac{1}{cos^4(x)} - \frac{1}{cos^2(x)}  = \frac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)}  + \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)} \\\\\\\\cos^4(x)*(\frac{1}{cos^4(x)} - \frac{1}{cos^2(x)}) = cos^4(x)*( \frac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)}  + \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)})\\\\1 - cos^2(x) = sin^4(x) + cos^2(x)*sin^2(x)\\\\1 - cos^2(x) = sin^2(x)*sin^2(x) + cos^2(x)*sin^2(x)

Now we can use the identity:

sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1

1 - cos^2(x) = sin^2(x)*(sin^2(x) + cos^2(x)) = sin^2(x)\\\\1 = sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1

Thus, the identity was proven.

Simplify 18 - 2[x + (x - 5)].
MissTica
18 - 2[x + (x-5)]
First I would get rid of the inside parenthesis by distributing the + to everything inside and end up with;

18 - 2[x + x - 5]
Then I'd combine like terms inside the brackets
18 - 2[2x - 5]
Then I'd multiply what is inside the brackets by the -2
18 - 4x + 10
I'd combine like terms and end up with:

28 - 4x......or rewritten as -4x + 28
