24. Liam bought a comic book and had $5 left. If he had a total of $8 walking into the store, how much did he spend on the comic book? Liam used the equation 5x=8 to model the problem. He said that x represents the amount of money he spent. Liam said that the solution, x=1.6, means that he spent $1.60. Is he correct? Why or why not? If he is incorrect find the correct answer showing your work. (4 points)
I think he is wrong. I think he is wrong because 8-5=3. so overall i believe he spent $3.
please tell me if im wrong.
