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.

How?
 
  • #4
Ʃfy = 0
Ʃfx = 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.
