Statins are used to keep cholesterol in check and are a top-selling drug in the U. S. The equation: S
−
1.3
x
=
6

gives the amount of sales (
S
) of statin in billions of dollars
x
years after 1998. According to this equation, how much will/did people in the U. S. spend on statins in the year 2008?

19 billion dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation :

S - 1.3x = 6

Where, S = amount of sale of statin in billions of dollars ; x = number of years after 1998

Amount spend in 2008

x = 2008 - 1998 = 10

Put x = 10 in the equation ;

S - 1.3x = 6

S - 1.3(10) = 6

S - 13 = 6

S = 6 + 13

S = 19

People will spend about 19 billion dollars on statin in 2008

the 3rd on is correct

step-by-step explanation:

false

step-by-step explanation:

the reason i say this is because for a certain length of sides you can pick any two and the length is wither equal or greater than the third side and in this case it's not.

3 + 5 = 8

8 is smaller than 9 which is the third side.

hope this : )
