Ф is the angle of elevation to the topo of the building from G.
length of leg adyacent to angle Ф=40m
length of leg opposite to angle Ф=15 m
tan Ф=leg opposite / leg adyacent=15/40=0.375
Ф=arctan 0.375=20.56º

The angle of elevation to the top of the building from G is 20.56º.

let's multiply both sides in each equation by the LCD of all fractions in it, thus doing away with the denominator.

\begin{cases} \cfrac{1}{2}x+\cfrac{1}{3}y&=7\\\\ \cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{2}{3}y&=6 \end{cases}\implies \begin{cases} \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{6}}{6\left( \cfrac{1}{2}x+\cfrac{1}{3}y \right)=6(7)}\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{12}}{12\left( \cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{2}{3}y\right)=12(6)} \end{cases}\implies \begin{cases} 3x+2y=42\\ 3x+8y=72 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{\textit{using elimination}}{ \begin{array}{llll} 3x+2y=42&\times -1\implies &\begin{matrix} -3x \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~-2y=&-42\\ 3x+8y-72 &&~~\begin{matrix} 3x \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~+8y=&72\\ \cline{3-4}\\ &&~\hfill 6y=&30 \end{array}} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{30}{6}\implies \blacktriangleright y=5 \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{\textit{substituting \underline{y} on the 1st equation}~\hfill }{3x+2(5)=42\implies 3x+10=42}\implies 3x=32 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{32}{3}\implies \blacktriangleright x=10\frac{2}{3} \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \left(10\frac{2}{3}~~,~~5 \right)~\hfill
