a) FALSE (would be TRUE if it said LN(56)-LN(7)=LN(8))
b) TRUE (because LN(x+y)-LN(x+y)=LN[(x+y)/(x+y)]=LN(1)=0)
The first equation is

The second equation is

If you sum the two equations you'll cancel y:

And since the sum must be 11, we have y=9.

i hope this helps
so look...
m=miles
(5m+6=m)<------ answer
hope this helps
