For an acute angle :
The largest possible value of sin theta = 1
x + y sin theta = 9 [ largest ] ................(1)
The smallest possible value of sin theta = 0
x + y sin theta = 7 [ smallest ]
sin theta = 0
==> x + 0 = 7
==> x = 7
Put this in (1)
7 + y sin theta = 9
y * 1 = 9 - 7
==> y = 2
The values are:
x = 7
y = 2
Hope it helps
