tanx + {tanx + tanπ/3}/{1 - tanx.tanπ/3} + {tanx + tan2π/3}/{1 - tanx.tan2π/3} = 3

=> tanx + {tanx + √3}/{1 - √3tanx} + {tanx - √3}/{1 + √3tanx} = 3

=>  = 3

=> tanx + {tanx + √3tan²x + √3 + 3tanx + tanx - √3tan²x - √3 + 3tanx}/{1 - 3tan²x} = 3

=> tanx + {8tanx}/{1 - 3tan²x} = 3

=> {tanx - 3tan³x + 8tanx}/{1 - 3tan²x} = 3

=> {9tanx - 3tan³x}/{1 - 3tan²x} = 3

=> 3{tanx - 3tan³x}/{1 - 3tan²x} = 3

we know:- tan3A = {tanA - 3tan³A}/{1 - 3tan²A}

therefore, tan3x = 3/3

=> tan3x = 1 
hence x  = 45/3
