Answer:

Sam have
$\$174$

Explanation:

Let

x-----> amount of money that Sam has

y-----> amount of money that Andy has

we know that

x+y=340 -----> equation A

x=y+8 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

y+8+y=340

2y=340-8

$y=332/2=\$166$

Find the value of x

$x=166+8=\$174$
