I need help in solving the following problem.

1-  w1(.03)+w2(.015)=0

2-  w1(1.9)+w2(1.5)=205,000

 

 

Thanks!

Use the solve procedure.  Combine the two equations into a set, and pass them to solve.  For this problem, in which the coefficients are numerical, you can use fsolve, which is generally faster (not an issue here).  Note that in Maple multiplication is expressed with *.  For example:

eqs := {3*x + 4*y = 1,  y = 3}:
solve(eqs, {x,y});
fsolve(eqs, {x,y});
