Find Forces Homework: Solve F1 & F2 Equations

[d1343]

Homework Statement

I am given this
I got the equation

Homework Equations

Fx= 0 = F1 cos (45) + F2 Cos(30) - 500N
F1 .70 + F2 .86 - 500 N

Fy= 0 = F1 Sin (45) - F2 Sin(30)
F1(.70) - F2(.5)

The Attempt at a Solution

how can I find F1 & F2 to Solve
Please
Thank you

I don't know
am I suppose to use Fy equation to find F2 in FX ?

Fx= 0 = F1 cos (45) + F2 Cos(30) - 500N

Fy= 0 = F1 Sin (45) - F2 Sin(30)

Simply use the 2 equations that you have and solve.

You know already from the second equation that F1 = F2*(sin30/sin45)

Substitute in the first equation and solve ...
