x = (2pi)/3,
x = (5pi)/3

Explanation:

Suggested solution --> possible error in question

tan x + 1 = - sqrt3(1 + cot x)tanx+1=3(1+cotx)
(tan x + 1)/(1/tan x + 1) = - sqrt3tanx+11tanx+1=3
Develop the left side
((tan x + 1)(tan x))/(1 + tan x) = tan x(tanx+1)(tanx)1+tanx=tanx
tan x = - sqrt3tanx=3
Trig table and unit circle give:
x = (2pi)/3x=2π3 and x = (2pi)/3 + pi = (5pi)/3x=2π3+π=5π3
