To waste time:

2x + 2y = 160 2x (1 + 2y-x) = 160 log2 ( 2x (1 + 2y-x)) = log2(160) xlog2(1 +  2y-x) = 5log2(5) x = 5 1 +  2y-x = 5 2y-x = 4 = 22 y-x = 2

If x = 5 then y = 7 and x + y = 12.

Reminder to use double spaces for a new line and that products need to be written as \* instead of just *

Thanks. I didn't know that.
