Any easy way to prove this?

[thorny cape]

it's false

try a = 2, x = 4, y = 16

[spiral cedar]

(y+a)^ay != x

or it satisfies only when (y+a)^ay = x

[wicked fox]

Really? There is a solution in my book but i can't make heads or tails

[spiral cedar]

what does it say?, the same i said?

[wicked fox]

Wait let me check

Wait the question is stated wrong . _.

[spiral cedar]

it is raised to the power ryt?

[wicked fox]

Yeah

[spiral cedar]

ok , can you send it

?

[wicked fox]

This one is the correct question ↑

[wicked fox]

.

[spiral cedar]

take log both sides

solved?

[wicked fox]

Trying

[wicked fox]

I can't solve it

[tough kestrel]

Take log base a

[spiral cedar]

i think bringing terms with x to one side and the ones with y on the other side , might help

then use a property similar to change of base rule

[kindred fox]

Which topic

[wicked fox]

It doesn't say

It says to prove the right side is equal to left side

[spiral cedar]

logarithms

[spiral cedar]

completed ryt?

[wicked fox]

I dont think i've learned this rule

[spiral cedar]

then you wont be questioned with this

[wicked fox]

Its a board question . _.

Could you maybe send whats the base change rule?

I might have learned it by a different name maybe
