Have a look at this youtube video to understand simultaneous equations better: Simultaneous Equations
\nPart 1:
\nTradesman:
\nFind the Labourer's wage first, then:
\n$\\var{ans12} + \\var{num13} = €\\var{ans11}$
\nLabourer:
\n$\\frac{\\var{wages1} - (\\var{num11} \\times \\var{num13})}{(\\var{num11} + \\var{num12})} = €\\var{ans12}$
\nPart 2:
\nFirst identify the 2 simultaneous equations;
\nL + T = $\\var{num21}$
\n$\\var{num22}$L + $\\var{num23}T$ = $\\var{wages2}$
\nNo. of Labourers:
\nFind the no. of Tradesmen first, then:
\n$\\var{num21} - \\var{ans22} = \\var{ans21}$
\nNo. of Tradesmen:
\n$\\frac{((\\var{wages2} \\times 1) - (\\var{num22} \\times \\var{num21}))}{((\\var{num23} \\times 1) - (\\var{num22} \\times 1))} = \\var{ans22}$
\nPart 3:
\nTradesman:
\nFind the Labourer's wage first, then:
\n$\\var{ans32} + \\var{num33} = €\\var{ans31}$
\nLabourer:
\n$\\frac{\\var{wages3} - (\\var{num31} \\times \\var{num33})}{(\\var{num31} + \\var{num32})} = €\\var{ans32}$
\nPart 4:
\nTradesman:
\nFind the Labourer's wage first, then:
\n$\\var{wages42} - (\\var{num43} \\times \\var{num41}) = €\\var{ans41}$
\nLabourer:
\n$\\frac{\\var{wages41} - (\\var{num41} \\times \\var{wages42})}{(\\var{num42} - (\\var{num41} \\times \\var{num43}))} = €\\var{ans42}$
