Solution

We have,
tanα=11+2x and tanβ=11+2x+1
Now, tan(α+β)=tanα+tanβ1tanα×tanβ
=11+2x+11+2x+1111+2x×11+2x+1
=1+2x+1+1+2x(1+2x)(1+2x+1)11(1+2x)(1+2x+1)
=2+2x+1+1+2x(1+2x+1+2x+2)111+2x+1+2x+2
=2+2x+1+2x3+2x+1+2x113+2x+1+2x
=2+2x+1+2x3+2x+1+2x3+2x+1+2x13+2x+1+2x
=2+2x+1+2x2+2x+1+2x
=1
tan(α+β)=1=tan(π4)
tan(α+β)=tan(π4)
α+β=π4
