Answer: The comic book was $3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead of 5x=8, it should have been 5+x=8 because he only purchased a single comic book. Subtract 5 from 8 and your X value is 3.

Answer:

Liam spent $3 on the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Liam bought a comic book and had $5 left.

He had a total of $8 walking into the store, so he spent 8-5=3 dollars on the comic book.

Liam used the equation 5x=8 to model the problem.

This is wrong. The correct form would have been 8-x=5 or 5+x=8 where x represents the amount of money he spent.

Hence, Liam spent $3 on the book.

Lines m and n are parallel solve for the following values of x. Tell which theorem you used.
nevsk [136]

Answer:

x=60°

Step-by-step explanation:

angle 135° and (2x+15)° are corresponding and thus are equal

Therefore (2x+15)°=135°

2x=135-15
