if 3 tan-1 (1/2+√3) - tan-1 1/x = tan-1 1/3 then what is the value of x

since 3tan-1x=tan-13x-x31-3x2
12+3=2-34-3=2-3
3tan-112+3=3tan-12-3=tan-13.(2-3)-(2-3)31-3.(2-3)2=tan-1(2-3).3-{4+3-43}1-3.4+3-43=tan-1(2-3)(-4+43)1-21+123=tan-1-8+43+83-12-20+123=tan-1-20+123-20+123=tan-11
therefore the given equation can be written as:
tan-11-tan-11x=tan-113tan-11x=tan-11-tan-113tan-11x=tan-11-131+1.13   [since tan-1A-tan-1B=tan-1A-B1+AB
tan-11x=tan-12/34/3tan-11x=tan-1121x=12x=2

hope this helps you
