Introduce the following notations of events:
A "The person has the disease"
B "The test is positive", C "the test is erroneous"
Our formula will be then:
P(A)=P(A!B)P(B)+P(A!C)P(C)\\\text{Using the given value we get the formula:}\\0.18=P(A!B)0.9+0.06\times0.1\\\text{Solving the above equation for P(A!B) we get:}\\P(AB):0.19
So the probability we are looking for is 0.19
