since 8+8 does not equal 1000, you don't have a solution.
how did you get to that point?
what is the original equation that you had to solve?

This is not a  Math problem - this is a puzzle, instead.

Its meaning is that   8 + 8  in base  10  is  16,  and   16  in base 2  is   1000.


So,   8+8 base 10   is the same quantity as   1000 base 2.
