.
One solution is  x = 3,  y = 1.


Then your equation takes the form


2^4 + 2^3 = 3^3 - 3^1,    and it is true, because each side is equal to 24.



    Next statement is that  there is NO any other solution.



You can easily prove it on your own, based on this notices:


    - the left side of the given equation is   =  =   and has "3" as a factor in degree 1;


    - the right side of the given equation is   =  and has  "3" as a factor in degree "y".


Hence,  y = 1,   and the rest is easy.
