You can put this solution on YOUR website!
find x and y if, 3^(2x-y) = 1 and 16^x/4 = 8^3x-y
assume it's
3%5E%28%282x-y%29%29+=+1
In order for 3^ to = 1,
2x-y = 0
2x = y
and
16%5E%28%28x%2F4%29%29+=+8%5E%28%283x-y%29%29
we can simplify this one
2%5E%284%28x%2F4%29%29+=+2%5E%283%283x-y%29%29
which is
2%5Ex+=+2%5E%28%289x-3y%29%29
therefore
x = 9x - 3y
3y = 9x - x
3y = 8x
y = 8%2F3x
