Answer:

Familial hypercholesterolemia

Explanation:

Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder which is autosomal dominant.

It is characterized by dangerously high levels of cholesterol in the blood due to the body being unable to remove low density lipoprotein (LDL)cholesterol from the blood. This LDL cholesterol is also known as bad cholesterol and it’s harmful to the body.

It could cause a heart attack due to underlying atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease caused by the disorder

Helen [10]

Answer:

18.6x + 3.6

Explanation:

A rocket scientist needs to find the overall thrust of a new rocket design. The rocket has two stages: Stage A and Stage B. Stage A's thrust is defined by the expression 11.2x + 6.4 and Stage B's thrust is defined by the expression 7.4x − 2.9.

Solution:

The rocket thrust is the force that helps in moving the rocket through air and through space. For a multistage rocket, the overall thrust is gotten by summing all the thrust experienced in each of the stages.

Hence the overall thrust for this problem is given by the equation:

Overall thrust = Stage A thrust + stage B thrust

Overall thrust = (11.2x + 6.4) + (7.4x − 2.9)

Overall thrust = 18.6x + 3.6
