If 36x = 216^y, which of the following expresses x in terms of y?	Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 6^(3y-2)	B) 6^3y	C) 6^(3y-1)	D) 6^(y-36)	E) 6^(2y/216)
By exponential simplification. 36 = 6^2 and 216=6^3 therefore (6^2)x=(6^3)^y gives x=(6^3y)/(6^2) further simplified to x=(6^3y)(6^-2) which gives x=6^(3y-2) (because exponential is additive in multiplication. i.e. a^b*a^c=a^(b+c). 6^(3y-2)nswer: 6^(3y-2)
