A fence is 695

1 answer:

5 0

Let the two parts with equal length have length x.
The longer part has length x + 20.

The sum of the three lengths is 695 m.

x + x + x + 20 = 695

3x + 20 = 695

3x = 675

x = 225

x + 20 = 245

The two short parts measure 225 m, and the long part measures 245 m.

The amount of sales (S) of statin in billions of dollars by 2017 is 34.5 billions

<h3>Linear equations</h3>

Linear equation are equation that has a leading degree of 1. Given the equation that represents Statins used to keep cholesterol in check and are a top-selling drug in the U.S.

S-1.5x = 6

where

S is the amount of sales

x is the number of years after 1998

By 2017, the total number of years is 19 years

Substitute

S = 1.5x + 6

S = 1.5(19) + 6

S = 28.5 + 6

S = 34.5

The amount of sales (S) of statin in billions of dollars by 2017 is 34.5 billions
