Urgent Help With Trig Proofs
(Sinθ - 1)/(1-sin2θ) = (cscθ)/(-cscθ-1)

or

(1-sinθ)/(1+sinθ) = (tanθ-secθ)^2

1) Please write what you mean. You have written $\sin(2\theta)$. I am guessing this is not your intent.

2) Are you acquainted with the Pythagorean Identity? $\cos^{2}(x) + \sin^{2}(x) = 1$?

3) $\csc(\theta) = 1/\sin(\theta)$

$\frac{\csc x}{-\csc x - 1} = - \frac{1}{1+\sin x}$

you should know what to multiply then...
