Step 1.1.1

The exact value of $\cos (45)$ is $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ .

$\frac{X \sqrt{2}}{2} + Y \cdot (\cos (30)) = 500$

Step 1.1.2

The exact value of $\cos (30)$ is $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ .

$\frac{X \sqrt{2}}{2} + \frac{Y \sqrt{3}}{2} = 500$

Step 2

Subtract $\frac{Y \sqrt{3}}{2}$ from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{X \sqrt{2}}{2} = 500 - \frac{Y \sqrt{3}}{2}$

Step 3

Multiply both sides of the equation by $\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}$ .

$\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{X \sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} (500 - \frac{Y \sqrt{3}}{2})$
