syms x y
equ1 = 2760*sind(200)+x*sind(107.5)+y*sind(307.615) == 0;
equ2 = 2760*cosd(200)+x*cosd(107.5)+y*cosd(307.615) == 0;
sol = solve([equ1,equ2],[x,y]);
xsol = sol.x
xsol = 
ysol = sol.y
ysol =

In the history of Mathematics, the positive integers ("natural numbers") are the most normal numbers; ratios are probably the second most "normal" (the integers including 0 and the negative numbers came later.)
Decimal fractions came notably later than ratios; it is more difficult to call decimal fractions "normal".

USE DOUBLE. You already saw that in the answer to your last question.
syms x y
equ1 = 2760*sind(200)+x*sind(107.5)+y*sind(307.615) == 0;
equ2 = 2760*cosd(200)+x*cosd(107.5)+y*cosd(307.615) == 0;
sol = solve([equ1,equ2],[x,y]);
double(sol.x)
ans = 7.6492e+03
