Work Step by Step

$\tan (A+B)=\frac{\tan A+\tan B}{1-\tan A\tan B}=3$ $\implies \frac{\tan A+\frac{1}{2}}{1-\frac{1}{2}\tan A}=3$ Or $\tan A+\frac{1}{2}=3(1-\frac{1}{2}\tan A)$ $\implies \tan A+\frac{3}{2}\tan A=3-\frac{1}{2}$ $\implies \tan A(1+\frac{3}{2})=\frac{5}{2}$ Or $\tan A\times\frac{5}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$ $\implies \tan A=1$
