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.

Consider the graph of the expotential function y= 3(2)^x
victus00 [196]

Answer:

<h2>y-intercept = 3</h2><h2>x-intercept - not exist</h2><h2>the graph is increasing</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function:

f(x)=b(a)^x

has y-intercept for x = 0

hasn't x-intercept

if a > 1, then is increasing

if 0 < a < 1, then is decreasing

We have

y=3(2)^x

a = 2 >1 - increasing

for x = 0:

y=3(2)^0=3(1)=3
