tan70=(tan20+tan50)/1-tan20tan50
tan70-tan20tan50tan70=tan20+tan50
Also tan70tan20=tan70cot70=1

tan70-tan50=tan20+tan50
So tan70=tan20+2tan50

"According to the trigonometric identity,
tan70 = tan (20 + 50)
tan70= (tan20 + tan50) / 1-tan20 tan50
Tan70 - tan20 tan50 tan70= tan20 + tan50
Also tan70 tan20 = tan70 cot70 = 1
Hence, it will change to following equation 
tan70 - tan50 = tan20 + tan50
So tan70 = tan20 + 2tan50
