1 00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:19,482 so lets define some variables here 2 00:00:19,482 --> 00:00:22,221 so lets let a=abby's earnings and 3 00:00:22,221 --> 00:00:35,364 lets let b=ben's earnings 4 00:00:35,364 --> 00:00:38,383 than they tell us how these earnings relate they first 5 00:00:38,383 --> 00:00:44,141 tell us that together they earned 50$ so that statement can be 6 00:00:44,141 --> 00:00:47,717 converted mathamaticly into, well together that means 7 00:00:47,717 --> 00:00:53,568 the sum of the 2 eannings so a+b needs to be equal to $50 8 00:00:53,568 --> 00:00:57,144 abby's+ben's earnings equals $50 9 00:00:57,144 --> 00:01:02,671 and then the tell us abby earned 10 dollars more than ben 10 00:01:02,671 --> 00:01:05,643 so we can translate that into abby is equal to 11 00:01:05,643 --> 00:01:09,915 or abby's earning is equal to ben's earnings plus 10 12 00:01:09,915 --> 00:01:13,166 abby earned 10 dollars than ben 13 00:01:13,166 --> 00:01:16,092 so we have a system of 2 equations 14 00:01:16,092 --> 00:01:17,671 and accualy 2 unknowns and then they say 15 00:01:17,671 --> 00:01:21,247 how much did each earn so to do that 16 00:01:21,247 --> 00:01:23,476 and they want us to solve this graph 17 00:01:23,476 --> 00:01:25,240 so there are multiple ways to do it but 18 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,562 we will do what they want us to do. 19 00:01:27,562 --> 00:01:29,606 Let me draw some axis over here 20 00:01:29,606 --> 00:01:31,835 and it'll be in the first quadrant 21 00:01:31,835 --> 00:01:33,553 scince we are dealing with earnings. 22 00:01:33,553 --> 00:01:35,504 niether of the earn earnings can be negative 23 00:01:35,504 --> 00:01:37,408 and let me just define the vertical axis 24 00:01:37,408 --> 00:01:40,380 as abby's axisor the abby's earnings axis. 25 00:01:40,380 --> 00:01:45,442 and let me define the horizontal axis as Ben's axis or Ben's 26 00:01:45,442 --> 00:01:48,785 earnings axis.And let me just graph each of these equations 27 00:01:48,785 --> 00:01:52,315 and to do that i'm going to take this first equation 28 00:01:52,315 --> 00:01:55,659 and im going to put it in the equivalent of
