Straightforward... but extremely tedious, unless you use an appropriate tool to do the calculations.

I don't know a way to do all that at once using my TI-83 calculator; there might be some calculators that can.

One way to get the answer all at once is to find a calculator that will expand the expression

%28.15x%2B.85y%29%5E6
or
%28%283%2F20%29x%2B%2817%2F20%29y%29%5E6

The calculator at wolframalpha.com will do it....
