How do you calculate variables as exponents in a polynomial without a calculator?

102 Views Asked by At

Good day

The problem is as follow:

Find all solutions $(x, y)$, where $x, y \in \mathbb {Z^+}$ to the equation: $$1+3^x=2^y$$

Two solutions are $(0,1)$ and $(1,2)$ but how do you go about calculating other possible solutions or proving those are the only ones? Also, what would the general approach be to solving such an equation? Without a calculator, as you would need to do in an olympiad.

Thank you!
