x²=16, then x=[tex]\pm[/tex]4

There are 2 cases, x=4 and x=-4

If x=4
(4)³(y)²=216
y²=[tex]\frac{27}{8}[/tex]
y=[tex]\frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{2 \sqrt{2} }[/tex]
y=[tex]\frac{3 \sqrt{6} }{4}[/tex]
x-y=4-[tex]\frac{3 \sqrt{6} }{4}[/tex]

If x=-4
(-4)³(y)²=216
y²=[tex]\frac{-27}{8}[/tex]
y=[tex]\frac{-3 \sqrt{3} }{2 \sqrt{2} }[/tex]
y=[tex]\frac{-3 \sqrt{6} }{4}[/tex]
x-y=4+[tex]\frac{3 \sqrt{6} }{4}[/tex]

Impressively correct.
