Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the first story

We want to find the change in each monster's strength. We have a total of 10 strength - points to distribute (take - away) among 2 monsters. The operation is $\frac{- 10}{2}$ since the points are being taken away (negative).

Step2: Analyze the second story

The operation here is $-10\times2$ because we are taking away 10 points from each of 2 monsters, not dividing the 10 points among 2 monsters.

Answer:

The first story (Eva is playing a monster - fighting game with her friends from the board game club. One of her abilities allows her to take away 10 strength points from a pair of monsters. If she takes away the same number of points from each monster, how much will each monster's strength change?)
