In summary, the conversation discusses finding the values of x and y in a trigonometric equation by using trigonometric identities and equations. The known values are the trigonometric functions and the relationships between the angles, and the steps involve manipulating the given information. To determine which identities to use, one can look at the relationships between the angles and the given functions, and drawing a diagram may also be helpful. If stuck, one can try identifying patterns and seeking help from a textbook or a teacher/tutor.
