check the explanation below

#csc(-x)/sec(-x)=(1/sin(-x))/(1/cos(-x))=cos(-x)/sin(-x)# #color(green)(rarr "reciprocal"#

now substitute

#cos(-x)/sin(-x)+cos(-x)/sin(-x)=2cos(-x)/sin(-x)#

#color(blue)(sinx " is odd so "sin(-x)=-sinx"#

#color(blue)( cosx " is even so "cos(-x)=cosx#

Substitute

#=2cosx/-sinx##color(green)(rarreven and odd " functions"#

#=-2cot(x)##color(green)(rarrquoitent#

I hope this was helpful.
