Earnings and Constraints Analysis

The video tutorial explains 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 uses a graph to represent the problem, plotting Abby's and Ben's earnings on the vertical and horizontal axes, respectively. It explains how to express Abby's earnings in terms of Ben's and uses the slope-intercept form to find the solution. The key to solving the problem is finding the intersection of the two lines representing the constraints. The solution is that Abby earned $30 and Ben earned $20. The tutorial concludes by identifying the best strategy as finding the points of intersection.

What is the total amount Abby and Ben earned together?

• $40

• $60

• $50

• $70

If Abby earned $10 more than Ben, which equation represents this relationship?

• a = b

• a = 10b

• a = b + 10

• a = b - 10

What does the red line in the graph represent?

• Difference in earnings between Abby and Ben

• Total earnings of Abby and Ben

• Ben's earnings alone

• Abby's earnings alone

What is the slope of the line representing the first constraint?

• 0

• -1

• 2

• 1

What is the y-intercept of the line representing Abby earning $10 more than Ben?

• 0

• 10

• 50

• 20

Which point on the graph satisfies both constraints?

• (0, 50)

• (50, 0)

• (30, 20)

• (25, 25)

How much did Abby earn according to the solution?

• $20

• $30

• $40

• $50

How much did Ben earn according to the solution?

• $40

• $30

• $20

• $10

What is the best strategy to solve the problem?

• Calculate the slope of the red line

• Find the points of intersection

• Find the red line's y-intercept

• Find the equation of the blue line

Why is finding the intersection point important?

• It represents only Abby's earnings

• It satisfies both constraints

• It shows the maximum earnings

• It represents only Ben's earnings
