    Let us say that:

    x = hours worked by Wolfgang

    y = hours worked by Heinrich

    So that:

    x = y + 10

    14 x + 12 y = 3520

    By combining the two equations:

    14 (y + 10) + 12 y = 3520

    14 y + 140 + 12 y = 3520

    26 y = 3380

    y = 130 hours

    x = y + 10 = 140 hours

    So Wolfgang worked 140 hours while Heinrich worked 130 hours.
