You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You don't indicate which base of logarithm to use. Since there is no obvious choice I will use base 10 logarithms:
log(2) = log(6x)
log(7) = log(6y)
log(9) = log(3y)
log(x) = log(8y)

Normally exponential equations are written in logarithmic form. If your equations were supposed to be exponential, then please use "^" to indicate exponentiation. For example, if the first equation we supposed to be:
2+=+6%5Ex
then post it as:
2 = 6^x
Note: If an exponent has more that one term, then post it in parentheses. For example the equation
y+=+2%5E%28x%2B2%29
would be posted as
y = 2^(x+2)
