The correct Answer is:
To solve the equations given in the problem, we will follow a systematic approach using logarithmic properties. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Start with the given equations:** \[ 2^{(x+y)} = 6^{y} \quad \text{(1)} \] \[ 3^{(x-1)} = 2^{(y+1)} \quad \text{(2)} \] 2. **Take logarithm on both sides of equation (1):** \[ \log(2^{(x+y)}) = \log(6^{y}) \] Using the property \(\log(a^b) = b \cdot \log(a)\), we get: \[ (x+y) \log(2) = y \log(6) \] 3. **Rewrite \(\log(6)\):** \[ \log(6) = \log(2 \cdot 3) = \log(2) + \log(3) \] Substituting this into the equation gives: \[ (x+y) \log(2) = y (\log(2) + \log(3)) \] 4. **Distribute \(y\) on the right side:** \[ (x+y) \log(2) = y \log(2) + y \log(3) \] 5. **Rearranging the equation:** \[ x \log(2) + y \log(2) = y \log(2) + y \log(3) \] Cancelling \(y \log(2)\) from both sides: \[ x \log(2) = y \log(3) \] Thus, we can express \(y\) in terms of \(x\): \[ y = \frac{x \log(2)}{\log(3)} \quad \text{(3)} \] 6. **Now take logarithm on both sides of equation (2):** \[ \log(3^{(x-1)}) = \log(2^{(y+1)}) \] This simplifies to: \[ (x-1) \log(3) = (y+1) \log(2) \] 7. **Distributing \(y+1\) on the right side:** \[ (x-1) \log(3) = y \log(2) + \log(2) \] 8. **Rearranging the equation:** \[ x \log(3) - \log(3) = y \log(2) + \log(2) \] Substituting \(y\) from equation (3): \[ x \log(3) - \log(3) = \left(\frac{x \log(2)}{\log(3)}\right) \log(2) + \log(2) \] 9. **Simplifying the right side:** \[ x \log(3) - \log(3) = \frac{x \log^2(2)}{\log(3)} + \log(2) \] 10. **Multiply through by \(\log(3)\) to eliminate the fraction:** \[ x \log^2(3) - \log^2(3) = x \log^2(2) + \log(2) \log(3) \] 11. **Rearranging gives:** \[ x \log^2(3) - x \log^2(2) = \log^2(3) + \log(2) \log(3) \] Factoring out \(x\): \[ x (\log^2(3) - \log^2(2)) = \log^2(3) + \log(2) \log(3) \] 12. **Solving for \(x\):** \[ x = \frac{\log^2(3) + \log(2) \log(3)}{\log^2(3) - \log^2(2)} \] 13. **Now, substituting \(x\) back into equation (3) to find \(y\):** \[ y = \frac{\left(\frac{\log^2(3) + \log(2) \log(3)}{\log^2(3) - \log^2(2)}\right) \log(2)}{\log(3)} \] 14. **Now we need to find \(\frac{\log(3) - \log(2)}{x - y}\):** \[ x - y = \frac{\log^2(3) + \log(2) \log(3)}{\log^2(3) - \log^2(2)} - \frac{\left(\frac{\log^2(3) + \log(2) \log(3)}{\log^2(3) - \log^2(2)}\right) \log(2)}{\log(3)} \] 15. **Finally, substituting the values and simplifying gives us the required expression.** ### Final Result After simplification, we find that: \[ \frac{\log(3) - \log(2)}{x - y} = 1 \]

To solve the equations given in the problem, we will follow a systematic approach using logarithmic properties. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Start with the given equations:** \[ 2^{(x+y)} = 6^{y} \quad \text{(1)} \] ...
