2k\pi +\frac{\pi }{2}\tan(\frac{a}{2})=a
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2k\pi =a-\frac{\pi }{2}\tan(\frac{a}{2})
Subtract \frac{\pi }{2}\tan(\frac{a}{2}) from both sides.
4k\pi =2a-\pi \tan(\frac{a}{2})
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
4\pi k=-\pi \tan(\frac{a}{2})+2a
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{4\pi k}{4\pi }=\frac{-\pi \tan(\frac{a}{2})+2a}{4\pi }
Divide both sides by 4\pi .
k=\frac{-\pi \tan(\frac{a}{2})+2a}{4\pi }
Dividing by 4\pi undoes the multiplication by 4\pi .
k=\frac{-\tan(\frac{a}{2})+\frac{2a}{\pi }}{4}
Divide 2a-\pi \tan(\frac{a}{2}) by 4\pi .
