Dear Student,
Suppose that A and B be the powers where A is more noteworthy than B , acting at a point P slanted edge . 
Here A+B = 18 ....(1) and the resultant R =12 N. Develop a parallelogram with sides with PC = A, PN = B, with point CPN as an insensitive edge and PC along the x axis.Draw the corner to corner PK to the parellelogram OCKN so that edge CPN =90 degree .The inclining PN = resultant R which is opposite to the s maller drive Q . consider the triangle CPN , PC = A, CK = PN = B, and edge CPN =90degree.That is triangle CPN is a privilege calculated triangle with CN = P as hypotenuse. At that point A^ 2 = B^2 +R^2 or A^2 - B^2 = R^2 or (A+B) (A - B) = R^2 or A - B = R^2/A+B that is A-B = 144/18 = 8 ...(2) Adding (1) and (2) 2A = 26 or A = 13 N . At that point B = 5 N.
Cheers!!
