Answer:

x - y = 70 and x + y = 203 are the required system of equations represents this situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that factory has 203 workers

Let "x" represent the number of males and let "y" represent the number of females

There are 70 more males than females. Which means,

Number of males = 70 + number of females

x = 70 + y

On rearranging we get,

x - y = 70 ----> equation 1

It is given that factory has 203 workers, which means number of males and females is equal to 203

Number of males + number of females = total workers

x + y = 70 ---- equation 2

So equation 1 and equation 2 represents the system of equations for this situation

x - y = 70 and x + y = 203 are the required system of equations
