Question 1190044: The wages of 7 men and 2 women amount to US$110 per day. The wages of 3 men and 3women amount to US$60 per day. Using ‘m’ to represent men and ‘w’ to represent women:

The two equations are
7m+2w = 110
3m+3w = 60

For the first equation we have
7m = total wages from the 7 men
2w = total wages from the 2 women
7m+2w = total wages of the nine people mentioned
So that's how we end up with 7m+2w = 110

The second equation follows a very similar idea
3m = total wages from the 3 men
3w = total wages from the 3 women
3m+3w = total wages of the six people mentioned
Then that is set equal to 60 to finish things off.
