you could use this equation to help you solve it;

x + (x + 42) = 138

the first step is to combine like terms;

2x = 138 -42

2x = 96

X = 96/2

X = 48

we already solved for x now substitute it in the equation I gave you.

48 + (48 + 42) = 138

48 + 90 = 138

hope it helped...if you have any concerns just let me know:)

We are asked to solve for:

P (sand | positive)

So, we solve this by:

P (sand | positive) = P (sand)  x P (positive for sand)

P (sand | positive) = 0.26 (0.75)

P (sand | positive) = 0.195

The probability is 0.195 or 19.5%.

Bill, bob, and barry are hired to paint signs. in 8 hours bill can paint 1 sign, bob can paint 2 signs, and barry can paint 1 an
OLEGan [10]
Define rates at which the individuals paint.
Bill:  x = 1/8  signs/h
Bob: y = (2 signs)/(8 h) = 1/4  signs/h
Barry: z = (4/3 signs)/(8 h) = 1/6 signs/h

The job is to paint 2 signs, working together.

In the first 3 hours, the amount painted is
(x+y+z signs/h)*(3 h) = (1/8 + 1/4 + 1/6)*3 = 13/8 signs
Remaining: 2 - 13/8 = 3/8 signs

Barry quits.
In the next 1/2 hour (30 minutes), the amount painted is
(x + y signs/h)*(0.5 h) = (1/8 + 1/4)*0.5 = 3/16 signs
Remaining: 3/8 - 3/16 = 3/16 signs

Now Bob quits.
The time for Bill to finish the job is
(3/16  signs)/(1/8 signs/h) = 3/2 h

Answer: Bill finishes the job in 1.5 hours (or 1 hour, 30 minutes)
