Earnings Comparison of Abby and Ben

The video tutorial discusses a problem involving Abby and Ben's earnings from household chores. They earned a total of $50, with Abby earning $10 more than Ben. The tutorial explores different strategies to solve the problem using a graph. It examines the blue line representing Abby's earnings being $10 more than Ben's and the red line representing their combined earnings of $50. The key strategy is finding the intersection point of these lines, which provides the solution: Abby earned $30 and Ben earned $20.

What is the total amount Abby and Ben earned together from their chores?

• $70

• $60

• $50

• $40

How much more did Abby earn compared to Ben?

Why is finding the y-intercept of the red line not helpful?

• It only shows Abby's earnings

• It only shows Ben's earnings

• It doesn't help determine individual earnings

• It shows incorrect total earnings

What does the red line on the graph indicate?

• Ben earning $10 more than Abby

• Total earnings of $50

What is the significance of the point of intersection of the lines?

• It shows Ben's earnings only

• It shows incorrect earnings

• It shows Abby's earnings only

• It satisfies both earnings conditions

Why is option D considered incorrect?

• It suggests the graph has no lines

• It claims the graph has only one line

• It states the graph has two lines but is irrelevant

• It suggests the graph is not visible

What is the best strategy to solve the problem using the graph?

• Finding the red line's slope

• Finding the blue line's slope

• Finding the x-intercept of the blue line

• Finding the point of intersection

What does the point of intersection confirm about Abby and Ben's earnings?
