A contractor estimated that one of his two brick layers would take 9 hours to build a certain wall and the other 10 hours. However, he knew from experience that when they worked together, 10 fewer bricks were laid per hour. Since he was in a hurry, he put both men on the job and found it took exactly 5 hours to build the wall. How many bricks did the wall contain?

    900

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Assume x brick

    X * (1/9+1/10) 一 10=X/5

    X (19/90-1/5) = 10

    X * (1/90) = 10

    X=900
