I already answered 1 http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/equations/Equations.faq.question.596131.html 2. If X^X+Y=Y^3 and Y^X+Y=X^6*Y^3 ,where X and Y are natural numbers then what is the value of Y^X ? There are no natural number solutions to that, so I assumed you must have left off the necessary parentheses to show where the exponents start and end. So I rewrote it as this, which does have 2 natural number solutions: 2. If X^(X+Y)=Y^3 and Y^(X+Y)=X^6*Y^3 ,where X and Y are natural numbers then what is the value of Y^X ? or in superscripted exponent notation: 2. If= and = ,where X and Y are natural numbers then what is the value of Y^X ? There are two solutions to that (x,y) = (1,1) and (x,y) = (2,4) So for the first solution = = 1 And for the second = = 16 Edwin
