<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
To eliminate the exponent, apply log to both sides. This allows the exponent to become the coefficient, which can then be divided from both sides.

8x+8y=2
-) 8x+5y=1
——————
3y=1
y=1/3
8x+8(1/3)=2
24x+8=6
24x=-2
x=-1/12
(-1/12,1/3)
A whole number is a number that is whole as in 1,2,3,4,etc, they don’t have decimals. To find the whole number for these questions you must look at the places (hundreds, thousands, ten thousands.) I was always told a trick which is 4 or less let it rest, 5 or more let it sore. (Basically if it’s less than 4 then decrease it, if it’s higher than increase it.)
12.496 = 13
2.90 = 3
Your answers are 13 and 3.
