Find the value of x for 6.a. and the value of y for b.

For a, x = 6 (3+6=9) and for b, y=5 (2x5=10)

For 6A) the x= 6 because 9-3=6 for the power. If u see multiple, for powers u have to add! So think opposite because we have answer at end but no answer for X. So yes subtract it.

For 6B) the y= 5 because when u see something like this in parenthesis and something outside of it , it multiple. If we have answer but no Y answer, think opposite! It is divided. 10/2= 5
To check- 2 times 5=10 which is correct
