---------
Sub u for tan(x)

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=49 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 0.333333333333333, -2. Here's your graph:

===========
tan(x) = 1/3
x = 18.435, 198.435 degs
tan(x) = -2
x = 116.565, 296.565 degs
