Question Number 92013 by I want to learn more last updated on 04/May/20

Solve: 2^x + 3^y = 72 ..... (i) 2^y + 3^x = 108 ..... (ii)

$$\mathrm{Solve}: \\ $$$$\:\:\:\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{x}} \:\:+\:\:\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{y}} \:\:\:=\:\:\mathrm{72}\:\:\:\:\:.....\:\left(\mathrm{i}\right) \\ $$$$\:\:\:\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{y}} \:\:+\:\:\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{x}} \:\:\:=\:\:\mathrm{108}\:\:\:\:\:.....\:\left(\mathrm{ii}\right) \\ $$

108×2=216 why 416??

$$\mathrm{108}×\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{216} \\ $$$$\mathrm{why}\:\mathrm{416}?? \\ $$

x=y+2 2^(y+2) +3^y = 72 2^y +3^(y+2) = 108 let 2^y =t ∧ 3^y =w 4t+w = 72 t+9w=108 now easy to solve

$$\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{2}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{y}} \:=\:\mathrm{72} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{y}} +\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{2}} \:=\:\mathrm{108}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{let}\:\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{y}} =\mathrm{t}\:\wedge\:\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{y}} =\mathrm{w} \\ $$$$\mathrm{4t}+\mathrm{w}\:=\:\mathrm{72} \\ $$$$\mathrm{t}+\mathrm{9w}=\mathrm{108}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{now}\:\mathrm{easy}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{solve} \\ $$

Why do we let x = y + 2 can i still say x = y + 5

$$\mathrm{Why}\:\mathrm{do}\:\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{let}\:\:\:\:\mathrm{x}\:\:=\:\:\mathrm{y}\:+\:\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{can}\:\mathrm{i}\:\mathrm{still}\:\mathrm{say}\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{x}\:\:=\:\:\mathrm{y}\:\:+\:\:\mathrm{5}\: \\ $$

eq(1) × by 3 eq(2) × by 2 substract (1) &(2)

3(2^x ) + 3^(y + 1) = 216 2^(y + 1) + 2(3^x ) = 216 Please next step here 2^(y + 1) − 3(2^x ) + 2(3^x ) − 3^(y + 1) = 0 2(3^x ) − 3(2^x ) = 3^(y + 1) − 2^(y + 1)

sir, show the steps till when you say let x = y + 2. i will do the rest

$$\mathrm{sir},\:\mathrm{show}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{steps}\:\mathrm{till}\:\mathrm{when}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{say}\:\mathrm{let}\:\:\mathrm{x}\:=\:\mathrm{y}\:+\:\mathrm{2}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{i}\:\mathrm{will}\:\mathrm{do}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{rest} \\ $$

t = 15.429 and w = 10.286 2^y = 15.429 y = ((ln(15.429))/(ln(2))) = ((2.736)/(0.6931)) = 3.9475 x = 3.9475 + 2 = 5.9475 But not correct with the question

x=y+2 is wrong the path given to get x=y+2 is wrong

$${x}={y}+\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{wrong} \\ $$$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{path}\:\mathrm{given}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{get}\:{x}={y}+\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{wrong} \\ $$

approximating leads to x≈4.15063 y≈3.63495

$$\mathrm{approximating}\:\mathrm{leads}\:\mathrm{to} \\ $$$${x}\approx\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{15063} \\ $$$${y}\approx\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{63495} \\ $$

But using the approach above, am not getting it
