    For the shoe size be equal to the length of the foot, this means that L must be equal to S. Now, since we have different equations depending on your gender, we first check the conditions for man.

    Since S = 3L - 22 for men, for a person to have a foot length equal to his shoe size, we equate L to S as shown below.

    L = S

    L = 3L - 22

    2L = 22

    L = 11

    Thus, we can see that men with 11-inch foot would have the same shoe size number. We can apply similar approach to find the length of a woman's foot that satisfies our conditions as shown.

    L = S

    L = 3L - 21

    2L = 21

    L = 10.5

    Hence, a woman with a 10.5-inch foot have 10.5 for a shoe size as well.

    Answer:

    man: 11 inches

    woman: 10.5 inches
