Answer 10

np

Answer 11

actually it's not necessary that they both sell same number of tvs

if Diane sells x tvs , she earns 11x+250
if Ethan sells y tvs , he earns 26y + 175

if they both earn same amount of money

26y + 175 = 11x + 250

thus for each value of x there is a value of y
(5,5) is one solution, but there is more solutions
