Answer: Eric earned $7

Explanation:

Let's define:

R = money that Robert earned.

E = Money that Eric earned.

Now we want to find how much money did Eric earn.

We know that:

R = $10 = 2*E - $4

Whit this equation, we can find the value of E. So we must isolate the variable E in one side of the equation:

2*E = $10 + $4 = $14

E = $14/2 = $7

Eric earned $7
