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 $x^2y^2$
$$=frac{frac{2x}{y}big(1-frac{y^2}{x^2}big)}{big(1-frac{x^2}{y^2}big) frac{2y}{x}} times frac{x^2y^2}{x^2y^2}$$
$$=frac{2xy(x^2-y^2)}{(y^2-x^2)2xy}$$
$$=-1$$
$$=RHS$$

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)

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)

Welcome to MSE. You'll get a lot more help, and fewer votes to close, if you show that you have made a real effort to solve the problem yourself. What are your thoughts? What have you tried? How far did you get? Where are you stuck? This question is likely to be closed if you don't add more context. Please respond by editing the question body. Many people browsing questions will vote to close without reading the comments.

You possibly want to add add an edit that the identity is true provided $A+B$ is not equal to (k+0.5)*180 degrees for integer k

You don't need the angle addition formula at all, you just need to know that $tan$ is an odd function that is periodic with period $180^circ$.

Does your question insist on the identity being used ?

Yes they give you the tan(A+B) formula. I am meant to show that if α+β=90 degrees, then tan2α/tan2β=−1
