All you need to do is add the numbers. You can avoid confusion if you let the first number stand for atomic number and the secondone (on the right) stand for mass number.
yXz + 18Ar40 ==> 19K43 + 1H1
y + 18 = 19 + 1 so y must be 2
Element 2 is He
z + 40 = 43 + 1 so z must be 4
2He4 + 18Ar40 ==> 19K43 + 1H1
yXz + 18Ar40 ==> 19K43 + 1H1
y + 18 = 19 + 1 so y must be 2
Element 2 is He
z + 40 = 43 + 1 so z must be 4
2He4 + 18Ar40 ==> 19K43 + 1H1
