Often a power can be rewritten as another power. For example 93 = 27 or (-5)* = 252. If x and y are integers, find all ordered pairs (x, y) that satisfy the equation (x - 1)x+y = 26.

Which ordered pairs satisfy an exponential function?
Supreeta N.
How many pairs of integers (x, y) satisfy either of the following two equations: 1) 2^x + 2^y = 2^(x+y) 2) 3^x * 3^y = 3^(xy)

Make an input-output table for the function. Use 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 as values for x. $$ y=26-2 x $$
