Set A to have 35 units.
Set B to have 5 units*.

After giving away 4/7 of A to B,

Then set A to have 15 units left.
Then set B to have 5 units* + 20units.

After giving away 2/5 of B to A again,

Set A - 15 units + 8 units + 2 units*
Set B- 3 units* + 12 units

Since A and B are the same, we have
1 unit* = 11u,

90units -756
35 units-294 (A)
55 units-462 (B)
