If all you need is one solution (there are infinitely many), then all you need to do is...
Find the inverse tan of each side:
tan-1() = tan-1(-11)
The left side simplies and the calculator will give us an number for the right side:
= -84.8 (degrees, rounded-off)
Now subtract 7 from each side:
= -91.8 (degrees, rounded-off)
And divide by two:
= -45.9 (degrees, rounded-off)

All the other solutions will be multiples of 180 (since the period of tan is 180) away from -45.9.

In response to the question in your "Thank you" note:
To turn -45.9 into radians:

If this is not the answer provided, then try adding various multiples of (since the period of tan, in radians, is ) until you get the answer. For example:




If the "official" answer does not have in it, then replace with 3.141529 (or some rounded-off version of this decimal).
