Answer:
x=3 y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
you must take the right part of the equation and express it as (something)^1/6
you know that the general formula is (a^b)^c = a^(b*c)
and (ab)^c = (a^c)*(b^c)
so you must reach a situation where you express everything ^1/6
a^(1/2) = a^(3/6) = (a^3)^1/6
b^(-1/3) = b^(-2/6)=(b^-2)^1/6
AND
((a^3)^1/6)*((b^-2)^1/6) = (a^3*b^-2)^1/6
therefore
x=3 and y=-2
