Answer: \(x=\sqrt3\), \(y=3^{1/3}\).
We start with the main method. Use logarithm laws and index laws first so that the equation is reduced to an algebraic equation.
Let
\(u=\log_3x\quad\text{and}\quad v=\log_3y.\)
Use change of base within powers of \(3\):
\(\log_{81}y=\frac{\log_3y}{\log_381}=\frac{v}{4}\)
and
\(\log_9x=\frac{\log_3x}{\log_39}=\frac{u}{2}.\)
The first equation becomes
\(8u+12\left(\frac v4\right)=5.\)
So
\(8u+3v=5.\)
The second equation becomes
\(4\left(\frac u2\right)+3v=2.\)
So
\(2u+3v=2.\)
Subtract the second equation from the first:
\(6u=3.\)
Therefore
\(u=\frac12.\)
Substitute into \(2u+3v=2\):
\(2\left(\frac12\right)+3v=2.\)
So
\(1+3v=2\), and hence
\(v=\frac13.\)
Now convert back:
\(\log_3x=\frac12\), so \(x=3^{1/2}=\sqrt3.\)
Also
\(\log_3y=\frac13\), so \(y=3^{1/3}.\)
This completes the solution and gives the required result.
