Ok so pete lays 10 more than jim per hour
pete and jim laid same amount of tiles
j=jim's rate
p=pete's rate
6j=5p
but pete lays 10 tile per hour faster so
p=10+j
sub
6j=5(10+j)
6j=50+5j
minus 5j both sides
j=50
jim can lay at 50 tiles per hour
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.
