Solve system of equations: 2sinx=siny,2cosx=5cosy
I tried to use tangent half-angle substitution, tried to sum these two equations and get this
sin(x+π4)=32sin(y+tan1(5)) and i stuck

Square both equations, then add them up. 2sin2x=sin2y and 2cos2x=5cos2y, so 2=sin2y+5cos2y, and hence cosy=±12. From here, cosy=±12, and you should substitute back in to check if both work. You'll also get multiple values of y from this, which you need to check with the sin relations.
