The total number of sweets remains unchanged after Valen gives to Henry.
Total number of sweets
= 469 + 650
= 1119
Total number of sweets in the end
= 1 u + 1 u + 57
= 2 u + 57
2 u + 57 = 1119
2 u = 1119 - 57
2 u = 1062
1 u = 1062 ÷ 2 = 531
Number of sweets that Valen must give to Henry
= 650 - 531
= 119
Answer(s): 119
