    howmany balls they have?

    A and B have some balls. If A give him 8 of his balls to B then they have equal number of balls. If B give him 8 of his balls to A then A have 2 times as many as B balls.

    Initially howmany balls A and B have ?

    No. of balls with A is 56 and with be is 48.

    given that x-8 = y+8 and x+8 = 2(y-8)
    where x and y are number of balls with A and B respectively.

    The answer is not 56 & 48.


    The answer is 56 & 40.

    now 56-8=48=40+8=48
    and

    56+8=64=2*(40-8)=2*32=64.
