Just put $x = a \tan(\theta)$, then you can solve it.

Recall the identity $\tan(a+b)=\frac{\tan a +\tan b}{1-\tan a\tan b}.\tag{$1$}$ Letting $a=t$ and $b=2t$ we find that $\tan(3t)=\frac{\tan t+\tan 2t}{1-\tan t\tan 2t}.\tag{$2$}$ But by using Identity $(1)$, we find that $\tan 2t=\frac{2\tan t}{1-\tan^2 t}.$ Substitute for $\tan 2t$ in $(2)$. After some simplification we find that $\tan 3t=\frac{3\tan t -\tan^3 t}{1-3\tan^2 t}.$
