3^((x − 3)(x − y − 2))  = 1  5^((x^2  − 2xy + y^2  + x − y − 3/2))  = (√5)  Find the value of x and y

$$\mathrm{3}^{\left({x}\:−\:\mathrm{3}\right)\left({x}\:−\:{y}\:−\:\mathrm{2}\right)} \:=\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}^{\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:−\:\mathrm{2}{xy}\:+\:{y}^{\mathrm{2}} \:+\:{x}\:−\:{y}\:−\:\mathrm{3}/\mathrm{2}\right)} \:=\:\sqrt{\mathrm{5}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{value}\:\mathrm{of}\:{x}\:\mathrm{and}\:{y} \\ $$

3^((x−3)(x−y−2)) =3^0   (x−3)(x−y−2)=0  x=3 or x−y=2  if x=3  5^((9−6y+y^2 +3−y−(3/2))) =5^(1/2)   9−6y+y^2 +3−y−(3/2)=(1/2)  y^2 −7y+10=0  y=5 or y=2  if x−y=2  5^(((x−y)^2 +(x−y)−(3/2))) =5^(1/2)   5^((4+2−(3/2))) =5^(1/2)   5^(3/2) =5^(1/2)    (x,y)∈{(3,5),(3,2)}

$$\mathrm{3}^{\left({x}−\mathrm{3}\right)\left({x}−{y}−\mathrm{2}\right)} =\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{0}} \\ $$$$\left({x}−\mathrm{3}\right)\left({x}−{y}−\mathrm{2}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${x}=\mathrm{3}\:{or}\:{x}−{y}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${if}\:{x}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}^{\left(\mathrm{9}−\mathrm{6}{y}+{y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{3}−{y}−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)} =\mathrm{5}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{9}−\mathrm{6}{y}+{y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{3}−{y}−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${y}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{7}{y}+\mathrm{10}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${y}=\mathrm{5}\:{or}\:{y}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${if}\:{x}−{y}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}^{\left(\left({x}−{y}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left({x}−{y}\right)−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)} =\mathrm{5}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}^{\left(\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{2}−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)} =\mathrm{5}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}^{\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}} =\mathrm{5}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}} \: \\ $$$$\left({x},{y}\right)\in\left\{\left(\mathrm{3},\mathrm{5}\right),\left(\mathrm{3},\mathrm{2}\right)\right\} \\ $$
