Can someone help me out with this question about logs? please 3^(2x)−2^(2y)=17 Find x+y. Here is what I did so far: Let m=3^(2x) and let n=2^(2y) x=(log_3m)/(2), y=(log_2n)/2

Can someone help me out with this question about logs? please
3 2 x 2 2 y = 17
Find x + y
Here is what I did so far: Let m = 3 2 x and let n = 2 2 y , x = log 3 m 2 , y = log 2 n 2
x + y = log 3 m + log 2 n 2
x+y= (base(3)17+n)+(base(2)n)/2
don't know what to do from there

17 = 3 2 x 2 2 y = ( 3 x 2 y ) ( 3 x + 2 y )
and now remember 17 is prime. I don't think logarithms are required here.
