why do whole numbers raised to an exponent get greater while fractions raised to an exponent get smaller?

Because 3^2 = 9
When you do (⅓)^2 what you are really doing is
(1^2)/(3^2) = 1/9


If you have (⅔)^2 you do
(2^2)/(3^2) = 4/9

Fractions get smaller because the denominator is also being squared which makes the denominator get bigger and when the denominator is bigger, you are dividing by a larger number which gives you a smaller answer. Whereas when you raise a whole number to an exponent, only the numerator get bigger because the denominator is 1 and 1 raised to any exponent is still 1

3^2 = (3^2)/(1^2) = 9/1 = 9

Solve the system of equations using the linear combination method.
Anit [1.1K]
       5p - 3q = -39
-     (-2p - 3q = 3)
==> 7p = -42 ==> p = -6

==> p = -6
      -2(-6) - 3q = 3 ==> 12 - 3q = 3 

==>p = -6
     -3q = 3 - 12 ==> -3q = -9

==> p = -6
       q = 3
