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.

solong [7]

Answer: $12 an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Rosey works 37 hours a week and 4 weeks in a month.

Total hours are:

= 37 * 4

= 148 hours

In order to at least cover the $1,776 in expenses she incurs every month, Rosey's hourly pay must be:

= expenses / working hours in month

= 1,776 / 148

= $12 an hour
