People in the U.S spend 18.8 billion dollars in 2009.

<h3>What is substituting ?</h3>

Substituting in mathematics is putting a specific value in an independent variable to observe a system.

According to the given data

Statins is the top selling drug in US to keep cholesterol in check.

The equation of the sales (S) of statin in billons of dollars x years after is

S - 1.3x = 4.5

The year difference is (2009 - 1998) = 11 years or x = 11

Putting the value of x in the given equation

S - 1.3(11) = 4.5

S = 4.5 + 14.3

S= 18.8

∴ The number of sales of statin is $18.8 billions.

Their sum is − 1/3 and their difference is 18
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:x=53/6 and y=-55/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number x

Second number b y

Sum of the numbers x+y=-1/3

x-y=18

Solve simultaneously

Using elimination method

We get

2y=-55/3

y=-55/6

Substitute for y in equation 1

x+55/6=18

x=18-55/6

x=53/6

Given: ABCD is a parallelogram.<br> Prove: AB = CD and BC = DA<br><br> answers are in image.
True [87]

Answer:

ASA theorem (angle side angle)

Step-by-step explanation:

ac is congruent to ac bc of reflexive property.

and bc you found the other two angles using alternate interior angle theorem, it's safe to use angle side angle. if two angles and a side is congruent between the two triangles, then the two sides are congruent.

Answer:

O A. The sum of angle measures is 180°.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear pair of angles are supplementary.

They must add up to 180°.

Linear pairs also would form a straight angle. A straight angle is 180°.

Hope this helps.

Landon is standing in a hole that is 5.1 ft deep. He throws a rock, and it goes up into the air, out of the hole, and then lands
Black_prince [1.1K]
When the rock hits the ground, y = 0

-.005x^2 +0.41x -5.1 = 0

Multiply equation by (-200)

x^2 -82x +1020 = 0

Use quadratic formula:
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} = \frac{82 \pm \sqrt{82^2 -4(1)(1020)}}{2} \\  \\ x = \frac{82 \pm 51.4198}{2} \\  \\ x = 15.29 , 66.71

Since the ball is initially below the ground, on its way up it will reach the point where y=0 but still be in the air, therefore the ball lands the second time y=0 or when x is larger.

Answer:  66.71 feet
