Step by Step Written Solution
Hi Bengü, let's solve this together. We are given an equation with exponential terms and the value of one variable, and we need to find twice the value of the other variable.
Problem Summary
Let's start by substituting the given value of x, which is two, into our main equation.
Step 1: Substitution
Replacing x with two, we get six squared plus six to the power of y equals forty-two.
Now, let's calculate six squared. Since six times six is thirty-six, we can rewrite the equation.
Next, we need to isolate the term with y. Let's subtract thirty-six from both sides of the equation.
Subtracting thirty-six from forty-two leaves us with six. So, six to the power of y equals six.
