given,
cos(A+B) = 4/5, thus tan(A+B)=3/4.
sin(A-B)=5/13,thus tan(A-B)=5/12.
then tan(2A)=tan((A+B)+(A-B))
=(tan(A+B)+tan(A-B))/(1-tan(A+B)tan(A-B))
=(3/4+5/12)/(1-(3/4)(5/12))
=56/33.

cos(A+B)=4/5, thus tan(A+B)=3/4.
sin(A-B)=5/13,thus tan(A-B)=5/12.
then tan(2A)=tan((A+B)+(A-B))
= (tan(A+B)+tan(A-B))/(1-tan(A+B)tan(A-B))
= (3/4+5/12)/(1-(3/4)(5/12))
= 56/33.

Tan(a-b)=5/12 tan(a+b)=3/5Adding both eq.Tan(a-b+a+b)=5/12+3/5Tan(2a)=61/60:)

given,cos(A+B) = 4/5, thus tan(A+B)=3/4.sin(A-B)=5/13,thus tan(A-B)=5/12.then tan(2A)=tan((A+B)+(A-B))=(tan(A+B)+tan(A-B))/(1-tan(A+B)tan(A-B))=(3/4+5/12)/(1-(3/4)(5/12))=56/33

That works, I hope.
