Answer:
42 gallons.
Step-by-step explanation:
count every inch *2 and calculate gallons
Let x = the amount of time that the third person needs to work on the job to add up to one
1 = 1/2 + 1/3 + x
1 - 1/2 - 1/3 = x
To subtract the fractions we need to put them all over a common denominator. Let's use 3*2 = 6 as the denominator; so 1 = 6/6, 1/2 = 3/6, 1/3 = 2/6:
6/6 - 3/6 - 2/6 = x
1/6 = x
The third person must work 1/6 time on the project.
This can be solve by 3 variable equation
let x be the money of luke
y money of rachel
z money of daniel
first equation
x = y + 21
second equation
x = z + 48
third equation
x + y + z = 168
solving simultaneously
x =79
y = 58
z = 31
