We would have
a + b = 360
a - 40 = b, so we solve as follows:
360-40=320,
320/2 = 160,
160 + 40 = 200.
Check: 200+160 = 360, so
200 is your answer.
Hope this helps and have a nice day:)
Answer:
What is your question young
2x+6=x+14
move x to the other side
sign changes from +x to -x
2x-x+6= x-x+14
2x-x+6= 14
x+6=14
move +6 to the other side
sign changes from +6 to -6
x+6-6=14-6
Answer: x= 8
