Where is tangent negative? In quadrants 2 and 4.
But we are restricted to quadrants 1 and 2, since 0 < x < 180.
Then our angle must be in quadrant 2.
set up a 30,60,90 triangle.
The side opposite angle 30 is 1.
The side opposite angle 60 is sqrt(3)
The hypotenuse is 2.
So tangent is defined as opp/adj. So find where our opposite is 1. That's at angle 30.
==============
Now remember we are in quadrant 2.
So we need to create a reference angle.
=========
Reference angles are only based off of those that lie on the x-axis.
That's 0, 180, 360....etc.
Since 90 < x <180, 180 is what we will base our reference angle from.
Take 180 and subtract 30 (our reference angle) to get 150.
is our answer.

What value of x in the interval 0° ≤ x ≤ 180°
satisfies the equation sqrt3 tan x + 1 = 0
-----
sqrt(3)tan(x) = -1
tan(x) = -1/sqrt(3)
---
Take the tan^-1 of both sides to get:
x = -30 degrees
That angle is in the 4th Quadrant.
---
For your problem the equivalent angle in the 2nd Quadrant
would be x = 180-30 = 150 degrees
