    Answer:Let x = pay per hour as a carpenter and y = pay per hour as a blacksmith

    Last week she worked 12 hours as a carpenter

    earning 12x dollars

    and 20 hours as a blacksmith

    earning 20y dollars

    and earned a total of $860

    and those two things add up to 860.

    Do the same with the other sentence, giving you a second equation.
