Start by combining the fractions:

\dfrac{\cos\alpha}{1+\sin\alpha}\cdot\dfrac{1-\sin\alpha}{1-\sin\alpha}+\dfrac{\cos\alpha}{1-\sin\alpha}\cdot\dfrac{1+\sin\alpha}{1+\sin\alpha}

\dfrac{\cos\alpha(1-\sin\alpha)+\cos\alpha(1+\sin\alpha)}{(1+\sin\alpha)(1-\sin\alpha)}

\dfrac{2\cos\alpha}{1-\sin^2\alpha}

Recall the Pythagorean identity:

\dfrac{2\cos\alpha}{\cos^2\alpha}

Then cancel a factor of \cos\alpha and use the definition of secant:

\dfrac2{\cos\alpha}=\boxed{2\sec\alpha}

Answer:

x = 8/13

Step-by-step explanation:

6 - 3x - 3/5(15x + 20) = 7(2x/7 - 2) - x

6 - 3x - 9x - 12 = 2x - 14 - x

6 - 12 + 14 = 2x - x + 3x + 9x

8 = 13x

x = 8/13
