Assuming that the question is insisting on the $tan(A+B)$ identity being used;
$$tan(2 alpha)=frac{2tan alpha}{1-tan^2 alpha}$$
and
$$tan(2 beta)=frac{2tan beta}{1-tan^2 beta}$$
Thus
$$frac{tan(2 alpha)}{tan(2 beta)}=frac{2tan alpha(1-tan^2 beta)}{(1-tan^2 alpha) 2tan beta}$$



Now draw a right angled triangle with $alpha$ in one corner and $beta$ in the other. Call $x$ the side opposite $alpha$ and $y$ the side opposite $beta$



Observe that
$$tan alpha=frac{x}{y}$$
and
$$tan beta=frac{y}{x}$$
Thus
$$LHS=frac{tan(2 alpha)}{tan(2 beta)}=frac{2tan alpha(1-tan^2 beta)}{(1-tan^2 alpha) 2tan beta}$$
$$=frac{frac{2x}{y}big(1-frac{y^2}{x^2}big)}{big(1-frac{x^2}{y^2}big) frac{2y}{x}}$$
Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by $x^2y^2$
$$=frac{frac{2x}{y}big(1-frac{y^2}{x^2}big)}{big(1-frac{x^2}{y^2}big) frac{2y}{x}} times frac{x^2y^2}{x^2y^2}$$
$$=frac{2xy(x^2-y^2)}{(y^2-x^2)2xy}$$
$$=-1$$
$$=RHS$$

If



$$2alpha+2beta=180°$$



then



$$tan(2alpha+2beta)=frac{tan2alpha+tan2beta}{1-tan2alphatan2beta}=0$$ and the claim easily follows.

Hint: if $alpha+beta=90^circ$ then $2alpha=180^circ-2beta$.


Use that $sin 2 alpha=sin(180^circ-2beta)=sin 2beta$, $cos 2 alpha=cos(180^circ-2beta)=-cos 2beta$



Alternatively, $tan(2alpha+2beta)=0 rightarrow tan(2alpha)+tan(2beta)=0 $ (thanks, @BarryCipra)

    $alpha+beta=90^circ$

    Now
    $$frac{tan2alpha}{tan2beta} =frac{tan2alpha}{tan(180 ^circ-2alpha)} =frac{tan2alpha}{-tan2alpha} = -1= RHS $$

          Thank you Martin! That's a brilliant answer. I would've never come to think of doing it this way.

        If



        $$2alpha+2beta=180°$$



        then



        $$tan(2alpha+2beta)=frac{tan2alpha+tan2beta}{1-tan2alphatan2beta}=0$$ and the claim easily follows.

        Hint: if $alpha+beta=90^circ$ then $2alpha=180^circ-2beta$.


        Use that $sin 2 alpha=sin(180^circ-2beta)=sin 2beta$, $cos 2 alpha=cos(180^circ-2beta)=-cos 2beta$



        Alternatively, $tan(2alpha+2beta)=0 rightarrow tan(2alpha)+tan(2beta)=0 $ (thanks, @BarryCipra)
