I can easily solve the Law of Sines as Mark M. suggested.
It gives an answer for angle A of about 30 degrees.
However, the problem asks for 2 solutions and this is where the difficulty lies.
If you draw the sides and angle as described in the problem, the second point required for angle A does not lie in the triangle which contains angle C; it lies in the triangle which is formed by the supplement of angle C.

By Law of Sines
sin 55° / 16 = sin A / 10
Can you solve for A and answer?
