   The masses are suspended, therefore you can assume the system is in equilibrium, and all of the component forces = 0. Form an equation (or 2) for this.

   Ʃ_fy = 0
   Ʃ_fx = 0
   
   There are your 2 statements, resolve the forces you have into component forces, apply the statements above, and you will get the correct answer.
