The given equation is:

\[
\frac{\sin(2y) - \cos(2y) + 1}{\sin(2y) + \cos(2y) + 1} = \tan(y)
\]

### Steps to prove the identity:

#### 1. **Double-angle identities**:
Recall the double-angle identities for sine and cosine:
- \(\sin(2y) = 2\sin(y)\cos(y)\)
- \(\cos(2y) = \cos^2(y) - \sin^2(y)\)

#### 2. **Substitute the double-angle identities** into the original equation:

The left-hand side (LHS) becomes:
\[
\frac{2\sin(y)\cos(y) - (\cos^2(y) - \sin^2(y)) + 1}{2\sin(y)\cos(y) + (\cos^2(y) - \sin^2(y)) + 1}
\]

#### 3. **Simplify the numerator**:
\[
2\sin(y)\cos(y) - \cos^2(y) + \sin^2(y) + 1
\]
Group the terms:
\[
(\sin^2(y) + 1) + 2\sin(y)\cos(y) - \cos^2(y)
\]

#### 4. **Simplify the denominator**:
Similarly, for the denominator:
\[
2\sin(y)\cos(y) + \cos^2(y) - \sin^2(y) + 1
\]
Group the terms:
\[
(\cos^2(y) + 1) + 2\sin(y)\cos(y) - \sin^2(y)
\]

#### 5. **Compare the simplified expressions**:
We need to manipulate these expressions further or use a strategy like multiplying both sides by a common denominator to show that they reduce to \(\tan(y)\).
