$x \approx 1.504$ $x~~1.504$ radians

To solve for the angle $x$ $x$ , let's take the inverse tan (arctan) of both sides. We get

$cancel(arctan)(cancel(tan)x)=arctan(15)$

$=>x=arctan(15)$

Evaluating with a calculator, we get

$x~~1.504$ radians

Hope this helps!

$x = 86^@19 + k180^@$

tan x = 15
Calculator and unit circle give as general answer for x -->
$x = 86^@19 + k180^@$
