Answer:
a. 12 minutes
b. 34 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are told that Ima has driven 5 minutes before Polly started driving
So if Ima has driven for x minutes , polly would have driven for y minutes but the difference between x and y is 5
So mathematically;
x = y + 5
a. 17 = y + 5
y = 17-5 = 12 minutes
b. x = 29 + 5
x = 34 minutes
The answer would be 14 because I don’t know how to explain it
A linear equation has 1 for all exponents on the placeholders
aka the equation is first degree (aka the hightest exponent on placeholders=1) so
it is linear
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
