we have seen your question.  If no one replies it is often because  we are thinking about how to solve it  or we dont know how. I am not very good  with these kinds of things, but I will  keep thinking about it.

2^x +3^y =31  3^x +2^y =17  −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−  u=2^x    , t=3^y   x=((lnu)/(ln2)), y=((lnt)/(ln3))  (x,y)=(2,3) is one solution  3^((1/(ln2))lnu) +2^((1/(ln3))lnt) =17  u+t=31  let a=3^(1/(ln2)) ,b=2^(1/(ln3)) .  ∴a^(lnu) +b^(lnt) =17  t+u=31⇒t=31−u  ∴ a^(lnu) +b^(ln(31−u)) =17
$$\mathrm{2}^{{x}} +\mathrm{3}^{{y}} =\mathrm{31} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}^{{x}} +\mathrm{2}^{{y}} =\mathrm{17} \\ $$$$−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− \\ $$$${u}=\mathrm{2}^{{x}} \:\:\:,\:{t}=\mathrm{3}^{{y}} \\ $$$${x}=\frac{{lnu}}{{ln}\mathrm{2}},\:{y}=\frac{{lnt}}{{ln}\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\left({x},{y}\right)=\left(\mathrm{2},\mathrm{3}\right)\:{is}\:{one}\:{solution} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{ln}\mathrm{2}}{lnu}} +\mathrm{2}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{ln}\mathrm{3}}{lnt}} =\mathrm{17} \\ $$$${u}+{t}=\mathrm{31} \\ $$$${let}\:{a}=\mathrm{3}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{ln}\mathrm{2}}} ,{b}=\mathrm{2}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{ln}\mathrm{3}}} . \\ $$$$\therefore{a}^{{lnu}} +{b}^{{lnt}} =\mathrm{17} \\ $$$${t}+{u}=\mathrm{31}\Rightarrow{t}=\mathrm{31}−{u} \\ $$$$\therefore\:{a}^{{lnu}} +{b}^{{ln}\left(\mathrm{31}−{u}\right)} =\mathrm{17} \\ $$$$ \\ $$

2^x +3^y =31=2^2 +3^3   3^x +2^y =17=3^2 +2^3   x=2,y=3
$$\mathrm{2}^{{x}} +\mathrm{3}^{{y}} =\mathrm{31}=\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}^{{x}} +\mathrm{2}^{{y}} =\mathrm{17}=\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$${x}=\mathrm{2},{y}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$ \\ $$
