A scaffold is constructed by placing two supports under a 18 ft, 4 in (a) board weighing 77 lbs. The supports are each 2 ft, 6 in (b) from their respective ends. Two painters stand on the board; one weighs 153 lbs and stands 2 ft, 6 in (c) from the left end of the board. Where must the 202 lbs painter stand so that each support carries the same weight? (express your distance in feet from the right end of the board (d).)
I know where he should stand, but where he is standing is by the lunch truck when he should be getting his fat-*** back to work.
