Answer:
The answer is D(20)
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't know the exact algebraic explanation, however, this is how I did it.
[tex]2^5+2^5=[/tex] [tex]2*2^5[/tex]
If you divide the second equation into seperate twos, you will get 2*2*2*2*2*2 = [tex]2^6[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]2^x=2^6[/tex] meaning that x is equal to 6. Now The next bit is trial and error, 20-6=14. [tex]3^{y} = 3^{14}[/tex]
Last thing to do is to add x+y=6+14. That is why the answer is 20.
If you wait a bit longer, someone will probably have a more algebraic explanation, however, you stated you only needed the answer so I hope this helped.
