and this of course is
Do the same with the subtraction sign to get the other solution.
If you're unsure of how to enter it into your calculator, do it step by step so you don't mess up the sign. If you enter it incorrectly, you could end up with an imaginary number when it should be real, or a real one that should be imaginary.

The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
in the triangle BDC
cos alfa=3/y----------> equation 1
sin alfa=x/y----------> equation 2
in the triangle ABD
cos alfa=4/5--------> equation 3
sin alfa=3/5---------> equation 4
then
Equal equation 1 and 3
3/y=4/5---------> y/3=5/4----------> y=15/4
Equal equation 2 and 4
x/y=3/5-------> x=3*y/5------------> 3*15/(4*5)-----> x=9/4
the answer is
<span>x=9/4 y=15/4</span>
