What is an equation?

An equation sometimes represents the output for a given specified input.

The amount of sales(S) of a top-selling cholesterol control drug statin is given by the equation S - 1.8x = 6.

Assuming x represents the number of years.

In the given question number of years is (2088-1998) = 10 years.

now we have to substitute these values in the sales of statins which will be

S - 1.8(10) = 6 in billions of dollars.

S - 1.8(10) = 6 billion dollars.

S - 18 = 6 billions.

S = 6 + 18 billions.

S = 24 billion dollars.
