Answer:

18.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find our x-value, we need to subtract 1998 from 2006

2006-1998=x=8

Now we plug it into the equation given

S=1.7x+5.2 (as you can see I manipulated it so that we can solve for S)

S=1.7(8)+5.2

S=13.6+5.2

S=18.8

Answer:

18.8 billion dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

S - 1.7x = 5.2

x = 2006 - 1998 = 8

S - 1.7(8) = 5.2

S - 13.6 = 5.2

S = 5.2 + 13.6

S = 18.8
