Can someone explain to me how to do this? :

8^2y+4 = 16^y+1

y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the problem is , it would be nice if we could convert both sides of this equation to the same base; that way, we could compare the exponents directly in an equation of their own. Fortunately, 8 and 16 are both powers of 2 -- and , we can rewrite the original equation by substituting those in:

When you have an exponent raised to another exponent, you multiply those exponents together, so we can simplify our equation by distributing a 3 in the left exponent and a 4 in the right:

With both of our bases the same, we can now simply compare their exponents directly to solve for y:

1. 3. can also be expressed as (22/7)

2. -4.5

3. 3.6
