Answer

$\dfrac{24}{7}$

Work Step by Step

$\sin{A} = - \dfrac{3}{5}$ $\cos{A} = -\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac{-3}{5}\right)^2} = -\dfrac{4}{5}$ $\tan{A} = \dfrac{\sin{A}}{\cos{A}}= \dfrac{3}{4}$ $\tan{2A} = \dfrac{2 \tan{A}}{1- \tan^2 {A}}$ $\tan{2A} = \dfrac{2 \times \dfrac{3}{4}}{1-\left (\dfrac{3}{4}\right)^2} = \dfrac{24}{7}$
