Been working on this problem

(SEE LINK FOR PHOTO OF PROBLEM)
for quite some time now, and the components don't quite add up for me so I am just a tad exasperated... In the x-z projection, I see two forces acting along the x-axis---one being 100cos15 in the -x direction, and the other being Pcos30 in the +x direction. Naturally, all projections of this 3d object should provide equilibrium in all directions. I know that P is equal to 50N, but it just doesn't add up when i take the sum of forces in the xdirection for the x-z projection. Help!
For potential reverse engineering purposes, the solution to the problem is P=50N, Ay=108.8, Cy=58.1 and By=32.4
