1. Problem Description

We are given a system of equations (S):
x+y=π6x + y = \frac{\pi}{6}
sinxsiny=34sinx \cdot siny = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}
First, we need to show that cos(x+y)cos(xy)=2sinxsinycos(x+y) - cos(x-y) = -2sinx \cdot siny. Then, we need to show that system (S) is equivalent to system (S'):
x+y=π6x + y = \frac{\pi}{6}
cos(xy)=0cos(x-y) = 0
Finally, we need to solve system (S).

2. Solution Steps

1.a. Prove that cos(x+y)cos(xy)=2sinxsinycos(x+y) - cos(x-y) = -2sinx \cdot siny
We use the following trigonometric identities:
cos(a+b)=cosacosbsinasinbcos(a+b) = cosa \cdot cosb - sina \cdot sinb
cos(ab)=cosacosb+sinasinbcos(a-b) = cosa \cdot cosb + sina \cdot sinb
Therefore,
cos(x+y)cos(xy)=(cosxcosysinxsiny)(cosxcosy+sinxsiny)cos(x+y) - cos(x-y) = (cosx \cdot cosy - sinx \cdot siny) - (cosx \cdot cosy + sinx \cdot siny)
cos(x+y)cos(xy)=cosxcosysinxsinycosxcosysinxsinycos(x+y) - cos(x-y) = cosx \cdot cosy - sinx \cdot siny - cosx \cdot cosy - sinx \cdot siny
cos(x+y)cos(xy)=2sinxsinycos(x+y) - cos(x-y) = -2sinx \cdot siny
1.b. Show that system (S) is equivalent to system (S'):
x+y=π6x + y = \frac{\pi}{6}
sinxsiny=34sinx \cdot siny = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}
Since we have proven that cos(x+y)cos(xy)=2sinxsinycos(x+y) - cos(x-y) = -2sinx \cdot siny, we can substitute sinxsinysinx \cdot siny in the second equation of system (S):
sinxsiny=34sinx \cdot siny = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}
2sinxsiny=32-2sinx \cdot siny = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
From the first equation, x+y=π6x+y = \frac{\pi}{6}. Therefore cos(x+y)=cos(π6)=32cos(x+y) = cos(\frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.
Substituting cos(x+y)cos(x+y) into the equation cos(x+y)cos(xy)=2sinxsinycos(x+y) - cos(x-y) = -2sinx \cdot siny, we get:
32cos(xy)=32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - cos(x-y) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
cos(xy)=0-cos(x-y) = 0
cos(xy)=0cos(x-y) = 0
So, the equivalent system (S') is:
x+y=π6x + y = \frac{\pi}{6}
cos(xy)=0cos(x-y) = 0

2. Solve system (S):

The equivalent system (S') is:
x+y=π6x + y = \frac{\pi}{6}
cos(xy)=0cos(x-y) = 0
xy=π2+kπx - y = \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi, where kk is an integer.
Case 1: xy=π2x - y = \frac{\pi}{2}
x+y=π6x + y = \frac{\pi}{6}
Adding the two equations, we get 2x=π2+π6=3π+π6=4π6=2π32x = \frac{\pi}{2} + \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{3\pi + \pi}{6} = \frac{4\pi}{6} = \frac{2\pi}{3}
x=π3x = \frac{\pi}{3}.
y=π6x=π6π3=π2π6=π6y = \frac{\pi}{6} - x = \frac{\pi}{6} - \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\pi - 2\pi}{6} = -\frac{\pi}{6}
x=π3,y=π6x = \frac{\pi}{3}, y = -\frac{\pi}{6}
Case 2: xy=π2x - y = -\frac{\pi}{2}
x+y=π6x + y = \frac{\pi}{6}
Adding the two equations, we get 2x=π2+π6=\3π+π6=2π6=π32x = -\frac{\pi}{2} + \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{-\3\pi + \pi}{6} = \frac{-2\pi}{6} = -\frac{\pi}{3}
x=π6x = -\frac{\pi}{6}
y=π6x=π6(π6)=2π6=π3y = \frac{\pi}{6} - x = \frac{\pi}{6} - (-\frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{2\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{3}
x=π6,y=π3x = -\frac{\pi}{6}, y = \frac{\pi}{3}

3. Final Answer

The solutions to the system (S) are:
(π3,π6)(\frac{\pi}{3}, -\frac{\pi}{6}) and (π6,π3)(-\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{\pi}{3})
