It is given that 
\tan x= \sqrt{3}
Now, we know  that \tan\frac{\pi}{3}= \sqrt3 and \tan\frac{4\pi}{3}= \tan \left ( \pi+\frac{\pi}{3} \right )=\sqrt3

Therefore,
the principal solutions of the equation are x = \frac{\pi}{3},\frac{4\pi}{3} 
Now,
The general solution is: \tan x =\tan \frac{\pi}{3}

x =n{\pi} + \frac{\pi}{3}  where n \ \epsilon \ Z and Z denote sets of integers. 

Therefore, the general solution of the equation is x =n{\pi} + \frac{\pi}{3}  where n \ \epsilon \ Z and Z denote sets of integers.
