Solving,

tan x=tan 60° - tan 30°1 + tan 60° tan 30°tan x=3131+3×13tan x=3131+1tan x=232tan x=13tan x=tan 30°x=30°.\Rightarrow \text{tan x} = \dfrac{\text{tan 60° - tan 30°}}{\text{1 + tan 60° tan 30°}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{tan x} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3} - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1 + \sqrt{3} \times \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{tan x} = \dfrac{\dfrac{3 - 1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1 + 1} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{tan x} = \dfrac{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{tan x} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{tan x} = \text{tan 30°} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 30°.

Hence, x = 30°.
