Answer:

19 billion dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation :

S - 1.3x = 6

Where, S = amount of sale of statin in billions of dollars ; x = number of years after 1998

Amount spend in 2008

x = 2008 - 1998 = 10

Put x = 10 in the equation ;

S - 1.3x = 6

S - 1.3(10) = 6

S - 13 = 6

S = 6 + 13

S = 19

People will spend about 19 billion dollars on statin in 2008
