Answer:
y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
It is always a good idea to look at the question and make some observations about it. Here, you might observe ...
- all of the bases are powers of 3: 243 = 3^5; 9 = 3^2
- y is a factor of every exponent
The latter observation is important, because it means that when y=0, every exponential expression has a value of 1. Hence y = 0 is a solution.

To solve the equation, you can write it in terms of powers of 3.
(3^5)^(-y) = (3^-5)^(3y)·(3^2)^(-2y)
3^(-5y) = 3^(-15y)·3^(-4y)
3^(-5y) = 3^(-19y)
-5y = -19y . . . . . . . . equating exponents; equivalent to taking log base 3
14y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . add 19y
y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . one solution

The rules of exponents we used are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
1/a^b = a^-b

5yz
Step-by-step explanation:
You multiply 5 by y and z
Answer:
(
, 0 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
4x + 3y = 2 → (1)
2x - 3y = 1 → (2)
Adding (1) and (2) term by term will eliminate the y- term, that is
6x = 3 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x =
= 
Substitute x =
into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y
Substituting into (1)
4(
) + 3y = 2
2 + 3y = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
3y = 0 ⇒ y = 0
Solution is (
, 0 )
