Moment of a Couple, making sure answer is reasonable

[torchflame]

Homework Statement

Given the following structure, determine the value of F such that the resultant couple moment on the structure is 200 pound-feet clockwise.

I'm not looking for help here per se, just if this is a valid method of solution:
Because the moment of a couple is a free vector, it seems to me that the moments of the two couples can be placed at point B without any problem.
Then it would also make sense to me that: M_{\text{couple with F}}=F\cdot 2\sqrt{2} pound-feet clockwise, and M_{\text{150 lb couple}}=600\sqrt{2} pound-feet counterclockwise, which gives me that F\cdot 2\sqrt{2}-600\sqrt{2}=-200, which implies that F=229 \text{ lb}.
Is this a valid method of solution? It makes sense to me, but I'm not sure if it makes sense to anyone else.

I'm very rusty on this but seems to me that you would need to know force at A to use your method. Perhaps I'm wrong.

look again at your root 2. It's not quite right. You can check your answer by taking moments about any point.
