Assuming this is "Let George Do It!" by Della Johnson,
One will be able to infer that the time period is before the widespread use of technology, specifically farming technology. This is due to George being asked to help dig irrigation ditches, something that rarely happens in modern times.
The chant they often spoke allures to the year being 1865, agreeing with the earlier inference of it being a pre-technology time period.
1 is unclear, please take a better picture
2. x-18=-5, add 18 to both sides so x=13
3. square both sides and get x-8=-x+2, add x to both sides, get 2x-8=2, add 8 to both sides, get 2x=10, divide both sides by 10 and get x=5
4. use distance formula
√( (x-x`)^2 + (y-y`)^2 ) = d
√( (4+5)^2 + (x-8)^2 ) = √155
√ ( 81+x^(2)-16x+64 ) = √155
[I'm not sure how to go from here]
The picture doesn’t work?
