Question

A to the power b + b to the power a = 144. what is the value of a and b?

Answer 1

We have two variables therefore we should have two equations to solve it, but we are provided with only 1.

Therefore one combination for the solution can a=1 & b=143.

But substituting,

1^(143) + 143^(1) = 1+143 = 144

Answer 2

Answer: take a = 1 ; b = 143

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, 1^143 = 1 --------> 1

And 143^1 = 143 ------> 2

From 1 & 2

1^143 + 143^1 = 144
