\frac{\tan a + \sec a -1}{\tan a -\sec a +1}= \frac{\sin a +1 - \cos a}{\sin a -1 + \cos a}\\
=\frac{2 \sin {a/2} \cos {a/2}+2 \sin ^{2}{a/2}}{2 \sin {a/2} \cos {a/2}-2 \sin ^{2}{a/2}} \\ = \frac{\cos {a/2}+ \sin {a/2}}{\cos {a/2}-\sin {a/2}}
Multiplying denominator and numerator by\cos {a/2}+ \sin {a/2}we get,
\frac{1+ \sin a}{\cos a} \\ = \sec a + \tan a

if (x / y ) = z to be proved equivalently it is enough to show x = y * z
 
here y = tan A – sec A + 1  and z = sec A + tan A and x = tan A + sec A – 1
 
y  * z = tanA – secA + ( sec A + tan A) = sec A + tan A -1
