Answer: A = 317
B = 61
Explanation:
The following equation can be gotten from the question given. This will be:
A + B = 379 ........ i
A - B = 255 ........ ii
From equation i, make A the subject of the formula
A = 379 - B ...... iii
Put the value of A in iii into equation ii
A - B = 255
(379 - B) - B = 255
379 - B - B = 255
379 - 2B = 255
2B = 379-255
2B = 124
B = 124/2
B = 62 tons
Since A + B = 379
A + 62 = 379
A = 379 - 62
A = 317 tons
