Answer:
2 men
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'n' b the original number of men, and let 'x' be the amount received by each men initially. From the data provided, the following system of equations can be modeled:
[tex]\frac{10}{n}=x\\\frac{40}{n+6}=x[/tex]
Solving the linear system:
[tex]\frac{10}{n}=x\\\frac{40}{n+6}=\frac{10}{n} \\40n=10n+60\\n=2[/tex]
The original number of men was 2.
