Bob purchased a comic book for $5 in the year 2000 and the value of the comic book appreciates at a rate of 8% a year. write an exponential equation to model the value bob’s comic book x years since he purchased it

2(10 - 13x) + 9x = -34x + 6020 - 26x + 9x = -34x + distributive property-17x = -34x + subtraction property (subtracted 20 from both sides)17x = addition property (added 34x to both sides)x = 40/ division property (divided both sides by 17)

The answer would be 4x+3
