plug in 3.6 for y
3.6+4
will give you the result of 7.6
We are given

Left side is

we will make all x terms together
and y terms together



we can multiply left side by using exponent rule



now, we can set them equal

Since, both sides have x,y and 8
and both are equal
so, their exponent must be equal
so, exponent of y must also be equal
we get
