Please share your work with us .

If you are stuck at the beginning tell us and we'll start with the definitions.

You need to read the rules of this forum. Please read the post titled "Read before Posting" at the following URL:

Hint:

Start with assigning variable names to the subjects to be "found".

Let

the first part = F

the second part = S

Then

Separate 178 into two parts → F + S = 178 ..........................................(1)

Now continue...

If you are still stuck come back - including your work.
