The correct Answer is:
To solve for \( x \) and \( y \) in the equations given, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the first equation The first equation is: \[ \frac{(\sqrt{27})^x}{3^{y+4}} = 1 \] We can express \( \sqrt{27} \) as \( 27^{1/2} \). Since \( 27 = 3^3 \), we have: \[ \sqrt{27} = (3^3)^{1/2} = 3^{3/2} \] Thus, the equation becomes: \[ \frac{(3^{3/2})^x}{3^{y+4}} = 1 \] ### Step 2: Simplify the equation Using the properties of exponents, we can rewrite the left side: \[ \frac{3^{(3/2)x}}{3^{y+4}} = 3^{(3/2)x - (y+4)} = 1 \] Since \( 1 \) can be expressed as \( 3^0 \), we equate the exponents: \[ \frac{3}{2}x - (y + 4) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{3}{2}x - y - 4 = 0 \] Rearranging gives us: \[ \frac{3}{2}x - y + 4 = 0 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 3: Rewrite the second equation The second equation is: \[ 8^{4 - \frac{x}{3}} - 16^y = 0 \] We can express \( 8 \) and \( 16 \) in terms of base \( 2 \): \[ 8 = 2^3 \quad \text{and} \quad 16 = 2^4 \] Thus, we rewrite the equation: \[ (2^3)^{4 - \frac{x}{3}} - (2^4)^y = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2^{3(4 - \frac{x}{3})} - 2^{4y} = 0 \] Which can be rewritten as: \[ 2^{12 - x} - 2^{4y} = 0 \] Equating the exponents gives: \[ 12 - x = 4y \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 4: Solve the system of equations Now we have two equations: 1. \( \frac{3}{2}x - y + 4 = 0 \) 2. \( 12 - x = 4y \) From Equation 1, we can express \( y \) in terms of \( x \): \[ y = \frac{3}{2}x + 4 \] Substituting this expression for \( y \) into Equation 2: \[ 12 - x = 4\left(\frac{3}{2}x + 4\right) \] Expanding the right side: \[ 12 - x = 6x + 16 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 12 - 16 = 6x + x \] \[ -4 = 7x \] Thus, solving for \( x \): \[ x = -\frac{4}{7} \] ### Step 5: Find \( y \) Now substitute \( x \) back into the equation for \( y \): \[ y = \frac{3}{2}\left(-\frac{4}{7}\right) + 4 \] Calculating: \[ y = -\frac{12}{7} + 4 = -\frac{12}{7} + \frac{28}{7} = \frac{16}{7} \] ### Final Solution Thus, the solutions are: \[ x = -\frac{4}{7}, \quad y = \frac{16}{7} \]
