Conditions for Equilibrium in the Wage-Price Model

In the model of wage and price determination, the equilibrium real wage is found at the intersection of two distinct curves. Explain the two fundamental conditions that are simultaneously met at this specific point, detailing why any real wage other than the equilibrium level would not be sustainable from the perspectives of both firms and workers.
