Problem 1

We can use this identity

In this case, A = 38 and B = 106

Recall that cos(-x) = cos(x).

Answer:

========================================================
Problem 2

We'll use that previous identity, but in reverse.

We have
(A+B)/2 = 234
(A-B)/2 = 125
as the two arguments in the cosines being multiplied.

For each equation, multiply both sides by 2
A+B = 468
A-B = 250

Then add straight down
2A+0B = 718
2A = 718
A = 718/2
A = 359

This leads to:
A+B = 468
359+B = 468
B = 468-359
B = 109

Therefore,
