If  { ((16^(a+b)  = ((√2)/2))),((16^(b+c)  = 2)),((16^(a+c)  = 2(√2))) :}   then c = __
$$\mathrm{If}\:\begin{cases}{\mathrm{16}^{{a}+{b}} \:=\:\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{2}}}\\{\mathrm{16}^{{b}+{c}} \:=\:\mathrm{2}}\\{\mathrm{16}^{{a}+{c}} \:=\:\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}\end{cases} \\ $$$$\:\mathrm{then}\:\mathrm{c}\:=\:\_\_\: \\ $$

eq(1) 16^(2(a+b))  = 2^(−1)  ⇒8a+8b=−1  eq(2) 16^(b+c)  = 2 ⇒4b+4c = 1  eq(3) 16^(a+c)  = 2(√2)=2^(3/2)  ⇒4a+4c=(3/2)  eliminate eq(1)∧eq(2)⇒ 8a+8b=−1                                                         8c+8b=2                                                         _________ −   eq(4) 8a−8c = −3                8a+8c = 3             ___________ −              −16c = −6 ⇒ c = (3/8)
$$\mathrm{eq}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\:\mathrm{16}^{\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}\right)} \:=\:\mathrm{2}^{−\mathrm{1}} \:\Rightarrow\mathrm{8a}+\mathrm{8b}=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{eq}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:\mathrm{16}^{\mathrm{b}+\mathrm{c}} \:=\:\mathrm{2}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{4b}+\mathrm{4c}\:=\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{eq}\left(\mathrm{3}\right)\:\mathrm{16}^{\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{c}} \:=\:\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{3}/\mathrm{2}} \:\Rightarrow\mathrm{4a}+\mathrm{4c}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{eliminate}\:\mathrm{eq}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\wedge\mathrm{eq}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{8a}+\mathrm{8b}=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{8c}+\mathrm{8b}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\:− \\ $$$$\:\mathrm{eq}\left(\mathrm{4}\right)\:\mathrm{8a}−\mathrm{8c}\:=\:−\mathrm{3}\: \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{8a}+\mathrm{8c}\:=\:\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\:− \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:−\mathrm{16c}\:=\:−\mathrm{6}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{c}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{8}} \\ $$

AnOther way   { ((16^(a+b)  = ((√2)/2)........(i))),((16^(b+c)  = 2..........(ii))),((16^(a+c)  = 2(√2)......(iii))) :}   (i)/(ii):  16^(a−c) =((√2)/4)................(iv)  (iii)/(iv):  16^(2c) =2(√2).(4/( (√2)))=8  2^(8c) =2^3   c=3/8
