Answer:
Solution: Given, log(base5) (x + y) + log(base5) (x − y) = 3
Or log(base5) (x + y)*(x-y) =3
Or x^2 –y^2 = 5^3 = 125————-1)
log(base2) y − log(base2) x = 1 − log(base2) 3= log(base2) 2 – log(base2) 3
log(base2) y/x = log(base2) 2/3
y/x = 2/3
y = 2x/3
from eq 1) x^2 – (2x/3)^2 = 125
x^2 – (4x^2/9) = 125
5x^2 = 125*9 or x^2 = 225
x = 15
y= 2x/3 = 30/3 = 10
xy = 15*10 =150
