1. your leading coefficient has to be 1 (nothing before the x^2). If there is you have to divide that out before you start.
2. Move your constant (the number without any x attached) to the other side of the equation
3. take 1/2 of the b term (the one with the x attached) and then square it and then add it to both sides
4. Factor the left side
5. Set each factor equal to 0 and solve

Here is an example:

4x^2-24x+20=0
The first term is not a 1 so we have to divide it out by 4 first
x^2-6x+5=0
Move the 5 to the other side.  It becomes negative.
x^2-6x=-5
Take 1/2 of 6 (3) then square it (9) and add it to both sides.
x^2-6x+9=-5+9
Factor the left side
(x-3)(x-3)=4
(x-3)^2=4
To solve you need to square root both sides
x-3=+/-
x-3=+/-2
x=3+2=5
x=3-2=1
Those would be your two answers.

So, when we're tasked with things like this, rewriting everything in terms of sine and cosine and combining fractions often trivializes things, so doing just that gives us:

\frac{\frac{1}{\cos{x}}-\frac{1}{\sin{x}}}{\frac{\cos{x}}{\sin{x}}-1}= \\\frac{\frac{=(\cos{x}-\sin{x})}{\cos{x}\sin{x}}}{\frac{\cos{x}}{\sin{x}}-\frac{\sin{x}}{\sin{x}}}=\\\frac{-(\cos{x}-\sin{x})}{\cos{x}\sin{x}}*\frac{\sin{x}}{\cos{x}-\sin{x}}=\\-\frac{1}{\cos{x}}

So out expression is 1/cos(x).
