100\times 6^{x+y}=43200
Use the rules of exponents and logarithms to solve the equation.
6^{x+y}=432
Divide both sides by 100.
\log(6^{x+y})=\log(432)
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
\left(x+y\right)\log(6)=\log(432)
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
x+y=\frac{\log(432)}{\log(6)}
Divide both sides by \log(6).
x+y=\log_{6}\left(432\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
x=\log_{6}\left(432\right)-y
Subtract y from both sides of the equation.
100\times 6^{y+x}=43200
Use the rules of exponents and logarithms to solve the equation.
6^{y+x}=432
Divide both sides by 100.
\log(6^{y+x})=\log(432)
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
\left(y+x\right)\log(6)=\log(432)
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
y+x=\frac{\log(432)}{\log(6)}
Divide both sides by \log(6).
y+x=\log_{6}\left(432\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
y=\log_{6}\left(432\right)-x
Subtract x from both sides of the equation.
