  1. tan ( A + B ) = ( tan A + tan B ) / ( 1 - tan A * tan B )

    In this case:

    A = 2 alpha , B = beta

    so

    tan ( 2 alpha + beta ) = [ tan ( 2 alpha ) + tan ( beta ) ] / [ 1 - tan ( 2 alpha ) * tan ( beta ) ]

    Since the:

    tan ( 2 alpha ) = 2 * tan ( alha ) / [ 1 - tan ^ 2 ( alpha ) ]

    put:

    tan ( alpha ) = 1 / 3 in this formula

    tan ( 2 alpha ) = 2 * ( 1 / 3) / [ 1 - ( 1 / 3) ^ 2 ]

    tan ( 2 alpha ) = ( 2 / 3 ) / ( 1 - 1 / 9 )

    tan ( 2 alpha ) = ( 2 / 3 ) / ( 9 / 9 - 1 / 9 )

    tan ( 2 alpha ) = ( 2 / 3 ) / ( 8 / 9 )

    tan ( 2 alpha ) = ( 2 * 9 ) / ( 8 * 3 )

    tan ( 2 alpha ) = 18 / 24

    tan ( 2 alpha ) = 6 * 3 / ( 6 * 4 )

    tan ( 2 alpha ) = 3 / 4

    Replace:

    tan ( 2 alpha ) = 3 / 4 and tan ( beta ) = 1 / 7 in formula

    tan ( 2 alpha + beta ) = [ tan ( 2 alpha ) + tan ( beta ) ] / [ 1 - tan ( 2 alpha ) * tan ( beta ) ]

    tan ( 2 alpha + beta ) = ( 3 / 4 + 1 / 7 ) / [ 1 - ( 3 / 4 ) * ( 1 / 7 ) ]

    tan ( 2 alpha + beta ) = [ 3 * 7 / ( 4 * 7 ) + 1 * 4 / ( 7 * 4 ) ] / ( 1 - 3 / 28 )

    tan ( 2 alpha + beta ) = ( 21 / 28 + 4 / 28 ) / [ 28 / 28 - 3 / 28 ) ]

    tan ( 2 alpha + beta ) = ( 25 / 28 ) / (25 / 28 )

    tan ( 2 alpha + beta ) = 1

    tan ( 2 alpha + beta ) = tan ( 45 ° )

    becouse:

    tan ( 45 ° ) = 1

    So:

    tan ( 2 alpha + beta ) = tan ( 45 ° )

    2 alpha + beta = 45 °
