Just look at the x and y variables and their exponents and roots. Ignore the rest.

Start with x.
On the left side you have cubic root of x^c.
On the right side you have x^2.


\sqrt[3]{x^c} = x^2


(x^c)^{(1)/(3)} = x^2


(c)/(3) = 2


c = 6

Now look at y on both sides and the roots and exponents of y.


\sqrt[3]{y^5} = y\sqrt[3]{y^d}


(y^5)^{(1)/(3)} = y^1 * y^{(d)/(3)}


y^{(5)/(3)} = y^{1 + (d)/(3)}


y^{(5)/(3)} = y^{(3)/(3) + (d)/(3)}


y^{(5)/(3)} = y^{(d + 3)/(3)}


(d + 3)/(3) = (5)/(3)


d + 3 = 5


d = 2

Answer: Choice C. c = 6; d = 2
