The scale is balanced. This is the case if the distances * weights are the same on both sides of the scale: (A + B) * weigth 1 + B * weight 2 = C * weigth 3 + (C + D) * weight 4.
(180 + 160) * ? + 160 * 4 = 160 * 6 + (160 + 140) * 8.
==> 340 * ? + 640 = 3360.
==> 340 * ? = 3360 - 640.
==> ? = 2720 / 340.
==> ? = 8.
