#alpha = 2.19#

We have: #tan(alpha - 2) = 0.19#

Let the reference angle be #tan(alpha) = 0.19 Rightarrow alpha = 0.187761947#:

#Rightarrow arctan(tan(alpha - 2)) = arctan(0.19)#

#Rightarrow alpha - 2 = 0.187761947#

#Rightarrow alpha = 2 + 0.187761947#

#Rightarrow alpha = 2.187761947#

#therefore alpha approx 2.19#

Therefore, the solution to the equation #alpha = 2.19#.
