Answer

8x×4y=3223x×22y=2523x+2y=253x+2y=5……………(1)8^x \times 4^y = 32 \\[1em] ⇒ 2^{3x} \times 2^{2y} = 2^5\\[1em] ⇒ 2^{3x + 2y} = 2^5\\[1em] ⇒ 3x + 2y = 5 ……………(1)

81x÷27y=334x÷33y=313(4x3y)=314x3y=1………………(2)81^x \div 27^y = 3\\[1em] ⇒ 3^{4x} \div 3^{3y} = 3^1\\[1em] ⇒ 3^{(4x - 3y)} = 3^1\\[1em] ⇒ 4x - 3y = 1 ………………(2)

On solving equations (1) and (2), we get:

⇒ (3x + 2y = 5) x 4

(4x - 3y = 1) x 3

12x+8y=2012x9y=3+17y=20317y=17\begin{matrix} & 12x & + & 8y & = & 20 \ & 12x & - & 9y & = & 3 \ & - & + & & & - \ \hline & & & 17y & = & 20 - 3 \ \Rightarrow & & & 17y & = & 17 \end{matrix}

⇒ y = 1717\dfrac{17}{17}

⇒ y = 1

Substituting the value of y in equation (1), we get:

⇒ 3x + 2 ×\times 1 = 5

⇒ 3x + 2 = 5

⇒ 3x = 5 - 2

⇒ 3x = 3

⇒ x = 33\dfrac{3}{3}

⇒ x = 1

Hence, the value of x = 1 and y = 1.
