Answer:

  • Melissa: 30
  • Ryan: 23
  • Chau: 69

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represent the number of messages Ryan sent. Then Chau sent 3r and Melissa sent r+7. Their total was ...

  (r+7) +(r) +(3r) = 122

  5r +7 = 122 . . . . . collect terms

  5r = 115 . . . . . . . . subtract 7

  r = 23 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

Ryan sent 23, Melissa sent 30, and Chau sent 69 text messages.

How was sharecropping used to manipulate blacks in the south?
Margaret [11]

Sharecropping is a type of farming in which families rent small plots of land from a landowner in return for a portion of their crop, to be given to the landowner at the end of each year. Different types of sharecropping have been practiced worldwide for centuries, but in the rural South, it was typically practiced by former slaves. With the southern economy in disarray after the abolition of slavery and the devastation of the Civil War, conflict arose during the Reconstruction era between many white landowners attempting to reestablish a labor force and freed blacks seeking economic independence and autonomy.
