Total length of men and women: 30*168 = 5040
================================================
Equations:
Quantity: m + w = 30
Length::174m+164w = 5040
-------------------------------
Multiply thru 1st by 174 to get:
174m + 174w = 174*30
174m + 164w = 5040
----
Subtract and solve for "w":
10w = 180
w = 18 (# of women)
