3^(m+n)=27 should be written as 3^(m+n) = 3^3
3^(m-n)=1/3 should be written as 3^(m-n)=3^-1
Therefore we know:
From the first statement
m+n=3
and from the second statement
m-n=-1
solving for m
m=3-n
plug that into the second equation
3-n-n=-1
3-2n=-1
-2n=-4
n=2
which means m=1
Answer: m/n = 1/2
3^(m-n)=1/3 should be written as 3^(m-n)=3^-1
Therefore we know:
From the first statement
m+n=3
and from the second statement
m-n=-1
solving for m
m=3-n
plug that into the second equation
3-n-n=-1
3-2n=-1
-2n=-4
n=2
which means m=1
Answer: m/n = 1/2

3^(m+n)=27-3^3 and 3^(m-2) = 1/3=3^(-1). Add the equations together: 3^(m+m+n-n)=3^3-1 =3^2. Now, if X^m=X^n, m=n so 3^2m=3^2 so 2m=2 and m=1. so n must equal 2 so m/n=1/2 OA is C
